Week 11 - The Results Blog

ARUGH!
What is wrong with me? Why can't I "get" it? I am back up again this week and am frustrated as all out hell. Frustrated. Upset with myself. Impatient. Pissed off. Depressed. Sad. Annoyed. If it a negative emotion, name it and I'm feeling it.

Sure it is only 0.4 of a gain. But that now means that I've been back at meetings for 6 weeks now and I've only lost 5.8. I'm not happy with those results. I've been at this a really long time. Since I was 21. I should be better at this. I know what the problem is. Now I just have to convince myself that by changing it and fixing it I'll lose quicker. I'm too busy comparing my progress to others and beating myself up that I SUCK AT THIS. I'm letting myself down and I'm letting my "loyal readers" down. ARUGH!

Okay. Changes I have made. 1. Didn't refuse the little paper journal they give out each week. Took it and am making my husband's life a living hell. That's right. I'm tracking his points and making him do this with me regardless if he wants to or not. You're in Spring training now baby, your ass is mine. 2. NO MORE PROCESSED FOOD (or to the best of my capability). 3. NO MORE SNACKING regardless if they are 1 point bars or not. Have more than 1 and they are no longer 1 point. 4. VEGETABLES. BLUCH. Enough said.

Saturday I did good. Friends went over to the States with us. I ordered the best I could when we had lunch. I had a turkey burger, left off the mayo, no cheese and had steamed broccoli as the side. Who the hell orders broccoli as a side? Me apparently. Bluch and bluch. I hate cooked vegetables. BLUCH. But I ate them. And I ate them all...with minimum bitching.

That sounds tough. Go over to my blog and implement some of the things I've suggested...I think it might help. You can do this. I know you can do this. Don't look at outcome, look at moment by moment, day by day, believing you can do this.
