Day 3---the Mental Game & the Myths

So, this morning was rough.  Overnight, my blood sugars spiked and I struggled to get them back down.  I stepped on the scale and I was right back where I started the journey.  ARGH!

I had to stay home to try to get my blood sugars under control.  BIG mistake.  The majority of my food was here at work and I was left to my own demise.  So what did I do....I struggled.  I ate half a muffin for breakfast.  Skipped lunch.  For dinner, we went out and instead of ordering a salad, I ordered boneless chicken wings.  SIGH!

Ok, so here's the reality....nothing and no one is perfect right?  Something I have always struggled with is self sabotage.  The mental game of well there you go, you screwed up again.  Throw it all under the bus and give up. 

Well, I got news for you body.....you are on top of the double decker bus and we are on a mission to shrink you down!

So this morning is day 4.  I have all my food ready and guess what?  The scale was a myth!  I am down lower than I have been since I started this.  So, just a friendly reminder.  Moments are just that moments.  They are room to grow and learn, but they really are just a space in time.  I can't give up....I must continue!

Thanks for the constant support.  Take care and God Bless!

The mind is a wicked thing sometimes. No matter if you KNOW that the food isn't good for you, you can NOT turn it away and not eat it. That is how we are wired. Im the same way.
You realized your weakness and now will know how to better face the challenge of being home alone. I saw a show where a lady was on a diet and there was a robbery and they put her in with all the baked goods Well needless to say she came out with cake icing all over her mouth. It is how we work.
Now you know and will be more aware of what you can and cannot be around. You are good at mind over matter.
They used to say at Medifast if you fall off the bus just pick yourself up and get right back on. Thats how you will roll.
Love you know it is hard been there and see where Im at.
Good for you on the scale. THey pounds move pretty fast and that is an encouragement.

Love you so much
