Holding Steady

January 6th, 2010 | Comments | Posted in Uncategorized |

I weighed in this morning, and I’m exactly the same as I was last week.

Now, I COULD be mad at myself.  I could be stomping the floors at the fact that I didn’t lose weight this week.

But I’m Rethinking My Shrink here, so when I “re”think about it, I know that all I did was enough to hold steady.  I drank dark beers instead of light beers, I had treats that I normally didn’t have, and I did just enough so that I didn’t gain.

If I’m rethinking my shrink, I know that I made that choice for this week.  There is no one to blame, not even myself because this was my plan for the week.

If I’m rethinking my shrink, I’m okay with that choice that I made, but I know that it’s not a choice I need to make a habit because I do have a goal I AM going to reach this year.

If I’m rethinking my shrink, I know that this week, I’m making healthier choices because that’s what I WANT to do.

If I’m rethinking my shrink, I love myself because the mindset I’ve taken this challenge is that every day is a new day and I’m going to make good and bad choices throughout my life and learning to be okay with my choices and learning from them is part of growing while on this journey.

Yeah, I’m rethinking my shrink…are you?

  • yes I am! And I found this post really inspiring, because you didn't let your motivation plummet because of the number on the scale. The body often needs time to adjust after losing weight steadily, so occasionally there will be lulls in the number but we are doing everything right.

    I know that well, and yet I know if I had been in your place, I might not have been as motivated as you still clearly are. Good for you, and thank you for the inspiration!

    okay okay...so you got me. if i'm rethinking my shrink, then its more about enjoying life and being healthy then really truly losing at this point. losing is gonna happen because of the healthy part. and i'm going to enjoy my ride!

    how bout me and you kick it in to high gear and post a loss next week?

    ps - mmmmm beer!! one beer (a day) this past weekend and my weigh in results would have been worth it.

    Great way to look at things! Maintaining is much better than gaining! And we all know you will be on your weigh down next week!
