If you struggle with weight management like I do, you know how much of a psychological battlefield it is. It is the definition of an emotional roller coaster. It can make you feel proud, excited, happy, sad, frustrated, encouraged, discouraged, angry...you get the idea. How do we get through life like a "normal person" with all of these conflicting emotions running through us. My poor husband!!
The important thing to remember, and this is key, is to break down your weight loss/management goals into smaller, achievable segments. Have you ever set out in the morning determined to eat healthily, exercise, not eat junk food, only to forget about all of these things by lunch? I certainly have! So, how do we stay focused?
We have to constantly remind ourselves to be working towards our healthy lifestyle or we absolutely will be making choices that will be working against it. It can be a viscous cycle and discouraging beyond belief. What can you do today, this hour, this minute to support a healthier life? Step by step, choice by choice, minute by minute is how we win this war. Remember, your weight is the byproduct of your life style - so focus on your life style choices; not the number on the scale. Start now and start again as many times as it takes. Be diligent and forgiving. I'm rooting for you; root for me too!
