Today started out pretty rough. I woke up with a horrible migraine that kept me home from work and in bed until late morning. It was a rainy, dreary day which made it hard to feel good about much of anything.
I've been struggling this weekend with some big let down issues. I weighed in on Friday morning. I thought I'd done so well over the past two weeks and was hoping to see some downward movement on the scale. But when I stepped on I was hugely disappointed to see that the numbers hadn't moved at all! Not any in two weeks! I realize that I've lost 27 pounds since I started my journey (10 with CK) and wonder if my body is already needing a break to readjust itself. I hope thats the case. It just seems like with as much as I have to lose yet this shouldn't be happening yet.
So I've been playing the mind game with myself, the negative self talk telling myself that I'm not going to be successful, that I'm not going to reach my goal, that I'm going to end up gaining all the weight I've lost back again! But this time I have a secret weapon! I have friends here at CK to motivate me. To make me accountable. To remind me that our bodies need this adjustment time so they're ready for another period of steady losing. To challenge me to silence the negative self talk and continue to work hard at reaching my goal! Friends that will be here to rejoice with me when the scale starts moving downward again! I will reach my goal! I will continue to work hard! I will be strong! I will not fail!!
