The one thing I can control!
I have to admit to have struggled a little bit this week. I had a really hard time at work last week - it's improved a little now, I'm not happy, but it's enough for now. Anyway, I desperately wanted to turn to comfort eating, there were times when I just thought "Stuff the diet!"... But I stuck to it!
The reason? The points I have every day? At the moment that's the one thing I'm completely sure about and have control over. I don't know what I'm going to do about work... I'm planning on sticking it out until the end of March when I can phone the local tv station again, and then review the situation then. But I don't actually know, or have any specific control. I can control whether or not I stay or go, but I can't control what opportunities are out there, and if my ideal job will get offered to me.
But I can control what I eat and drink. Although I can't control the amount I lose each week, I can control the fact that it will keep coming off! That's one of the main things keeping me going now. Everything is out of my hands, except for that. So that's what I'm focusing on. And it seems to be working!
I lost another 2lbs this week! That's 13lbs so far this year, nearly a stone! And 63.5lbs in total!
I'm so happy!
And so motivated!
And so completely in control!
