The holidays are probably the hardest time of the year for me.
I have been struggling with my diet and exercise lately. I seem to put my self down every time I mess up.
I discussed with my nutritionist about this pattern that I follow and she suggested that I focus on the good things I did every day and not focus on the negative things.
So I decided to take her advice and it is working. It takes a long time to change the way a person thinks, so this is a process for me that will take some time.
Along with what I am eating, drinking and recording my exercise in my journal I have started writing down my feelings and accomplishments.
This really is helping me, it is a great visual to read what my feelings and accomplishments are.
I also decided to join weight watchers a 17 week program at my work. I will start this on Thursday.
I will let you know how this is going. I decided to do this because I noticed that I was falling back into my old habits.
Falling back into my old habits scares the crap out of me.
Does anyone else put themselves down when he or she messes up on his or her diet and exercise? I would love to read your thoughts on this.
Funny you should bring this up I have been so bad about not watching what I put in my mouth . Doritos LOVE THEM AND EAT THEM . I dont dump and have found myself not really watching anything anymore . I used to be so strict on what I ate and the times watching my potein and water always first and formost not so much anymore. I wonder if this is common at our time out I am getting angry at myself but what I see the problem is that for the first year we will lose no matter what and thats almost a crutch at least for myself. I dunno no but good luck girl!
ReplyDeleteEven before my weight loss surgery when I would loose the weight I would fall back into this old pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard and people who think that weight loss surgery is the easy way out are sooooo wrong! We still have to over come our thinking and that is the hardest part of all.
