Before After

what to say when you have nothing to say

This time around I am determined to come here to my blog and write even when I have nothing to say.  I think it's important to my process of change....
 
Often I think of this place as a blog to write FOR others and to INSPIRE others... and that's true, in part.  But I need this for ME as well.... I need to make myself come here and blog my feelings, .... my ups and downs... successes and failures... so if nothing else, I can have a record.  It will help me remember later what worked and what didn't.  It is a log of my success most of all... because no matter how many little set backs I have, I'm SO going in the right direction...
 
Anyway.... as I was saying... I have nothing to say today!  ha ha
 
Seriously I almost didnt' write this morning because I had a bit of a bad day yesterday.  I don't WANT to record negative stuff here... I want to be positive every day for everyone else!  I want you all to see how GREAT I'm doing...
 
But yesterday was a day of minor set-backs.... I snacked a bit much and ate a few things that were strictly forbidden (mmmm... FORBIDDEN FOOD!... haha)... Actually I shouldn't say they were forbidden, because my new way of looking at this is that nothing is forbidden... I just have to plan and allow for all that goes in my mouth.  THAT'S what I didnt' do yesterday.  I just ate and ate some major calories..... for the heck of it.
 
The good news is that I MADE myself go to the gym for a 30 min quick cardio session last night.  It was later than I like to go -- 7:30... but I went.  I hadn't been to the gym since Thursday of last week (seriously couldn't help it --- booked up with other obligations)... and I think the lack of exercise can be blamed for my waning motivation in the diet department as well.  Exercise is so important for not only physical well-being, but spiritual and mental as well! 
 
So here I am blogging this morning... admitting my failures for all to see.  Most importantly though... I'm admitting to myself. (because MYSELF knows that bingeing and hiding it does NOT do me any good whatsoever... we've been there and done that!)
 
Guilty as charged!...
 
Back on track this morning though.
 
Happy Humpday!

It's important to think about weight loss and your plan for realizing that goal regardless of whether you have something specific of even interesting to stay. That's what keeps us all on track.


:)

I agree - thank you for sharing!

I find blogging sometimes just sort of thinking out loud.  If I've had a bad day.   I think the way we help and inspire others is not only through our success but through our insights on our less than successful days.

...

I find these types of blogs as inspiring as the really positive ones.

They show I'm not alone in slip ups, & that as long as you get right back to it, no major harm is done.

Well done for sharing. xx

not failures

failures is giving up.  Not having a snack too many.  This is about a lifestyle and sometimes you are going to have a bit too much.  It's about learning to keep going and make adjustments.  You went to the gym.  You didn't eat everything in the fridge.  In my books you did well.
 
Keep on going!

I've been trying to make myself write as frequently as I can- very motivating! It's like having a buddy : )
 
I like your point on forbidden food. A couple of times lately I've been offered things I reeeaally wanted just before a snack time or a lunch time, so I had to look at them and decide- 'Do I eat the french fries for lunch? Or do I throw them away?' I ate the fries and some raw veggies with them.
 
Not perfect, but livable.
