Unrealistic Thoughts

Why do we have them?  I stepped on the scale this am and although  not depressed-I did not gain weight- was not at all impressed.  Two weeks in and minimal (ounces count right?) weight loss.  If any of you are like me, your mind goes into an immediate spiral...what?  how could this be? I could be eating anything and hold my weight-- Is it worth it?  That is the key, is it worth it?

We live in an immediate society.  Thinner, faster, stronger, bigger...take a pill, it can all happen for you, kind of life.   When we are used to this immediacy, anything that takes commitment, sacrifice, struggle, seems just  too hard.  Is it really worth it?  When the results are slow, will my hard work pay off?  Only you can answer that for yourself...my answer is hands down, yes.  I am worth it.

It took me 40 years to earn this bod, I just pray it does not take me 40 to get it to where I would like to see it!  I will pursue, I will not give up.  I will critique myself, my workout and my food closer.  I know some of my eating issues and how certain emotions can trigger bad habits.  As we work harder, we will become better.  Effort always pays off.  Don't cheat yourself...take a good long look at your habits, what makes you spiral, what makes you succeed and put your plan together.  I have said it before..in my opinion, a good partner has been the key to my success.  They will keep you far more accountable than you will keep yourself.  Commit to yourself, you are worth it!
