I need another day here. I did drink all my water today (but not yesterday), and since I didn't do my bike yesterday, I figured a promise for today was empty and fraudulent - so I got on the bike before I sat down to write this entry.
I'm going through my "I don't need WW" temper tantrum. My monthly membership is good until February 5th, and I can renew on that day if I want to. Price-wise it doesn't cost me anything (because I get a reimbursement from my insurance company) - I'm just having my cut and run feelings that I ALWAYS have a few weeks into a diet. I am surprised I lasted this long!
My daughter posted her wedding website today - she put a live countdown ticker on it. Hmm... it's at 31 weeks now. Where will I be in 21 weeks? Where will I be in 11 weeks? Where will I be 1 week before the wedding? Just as fat as I am now? I don't want to be. Hmmm... maybe I need to quit it with the temper tantrum and pay up so my membership stays current.
So, when I am in those moments of denial and decide I am not going to do WW and I can do it on my own I start to think of ALL the things I can eat, want to eat, and want to eat in great quantities. I get home, open the fridge, and am faced with everything from Sunday: guacamole, hommos, fava bean salad, breads, chips, crackers, cheese.... and mashed cauliflower and chicken. The moment of truth. I can eat everything if I want to (and say the heck with it, or just start again on Monday), or I can do what is right for me in the moment. I pulled out the chicken and cauliflower.
I think between that choice, and the water, and the bike, I am ready, tomorrow, to move on to reflect on days 4-7. Of course I need to work "Do it anyway" EVERYDAY but I am ready to work the other steps.

Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteYou said it all when you said "I can do what is right for me at the moment." Good job!
Good girl! I didn't want to have to tap your butt out of the temper tantrum! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Miriam! Every day we're on this journey, we make choices which have a positive or negative effect on whether or not we will reach our goals. I know this well as yesterday, I also went through a personal struggle - which lasted a couple of hours. Like you, I overcame the negativity and simply "moved on" with the rest of the day. Yay for both of us!!! ; )
