Bye for now,
P.S. I am going to try something new and join in on a Blog Hop. I am not sure if it against the rules to use a post from a few days ago - hope not. Well, here I go...
It sounds like a good idea :)

Weigh-In Day
Hello :) I am definitely in a better mood since my last "crappy" post, thank goodness! I am getting off of the self-pity bus and moving along. I have not been doing so great with my exercise or eating right now, but, if I am honest I know that it is because I am choosing not to do it right now. I am working on my emotional junk. I am not bingeing or anything, I am just letting it be for now and being kind to myself. I definitely have not found my happy medium yet, but that is what this journey is all about. I will find the balance. I feel good today, and really, what more could I ask for? Part of my problem is that I am too rigid. When I try something out, it is like I have set it in stone, and that is how I have to do it. That does not leave any room for trial and error, so obviously it doesn't work. I am moving ahead and the only definite I am going to place on myself is this: "I will definitely not give up on me!". I keep focusing on where I should be, or how I should be doing and I should really just delete that word from my vocabulary. I am going to be happy with my progress so far, because if I think about it I have been sticking with this since April 13th, and for me that is amazing. I am doing it, all this garbage is bound to come up, and guess what - I am still doing it. Today is weigh in day and I am at 184.58 lbs. I have been thinking about weighing in less frequently to see if that will work better for me, but so far I am undecided, so we will see. For now I am feeling good and learning. This is a good day!

Good for you, Cara, I am the exact same way, if I'm going to do something, it has to be done THIS way, or not at all. Not anymore! I'm starting againtomorrow,and I will do it! Failure is not an option.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great attitude, Cara. If you don't sort out the emotional stuff, it will come to haunt you anyways. It's not easy to find that balance. I am still searching, too. It's possible, though, I believe. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate. I'm not sure what has sabotaged my efforts, so I'm gonna have to dig a little deeper. Gosh, this is such hard work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Cara, you are inspiring :)
Hi Cara, I found you on the blog hop. This is my first time doing a blog hop. Congrats on your 19.5 pounds lost. That's wonderful! Never give up, you'll meet your goals.

Hey good on you. That's the spirit. I was just looking at your weigh ins. Slow and steady, but didn't the turtle win the race in the end? I am visiting from the blog hop. I didn't join in this time but I am usually there. Come past for a visit http://cootaitlees.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteCara, thank you so much for linking up.
ReplyDeleteThe "being too rigid" is one of my big "all or nothing" issues too....so I can empathise.
"I am getting off of the self-pity bus and moving along" ~ I love that attitude! You can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to the 'being too rigid' comment. For me it's almost like if I'm not rigid I don't trust myself to be moderate! Ah the lessons we have to learn..... congrats on the loss to date. Progress hey, even if the scales don't say so sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good attitude...I have OCD so I can be overly rigid too. I try things out for four days and then re-evaluate to see if it's something sustainable or beneficial to me. It has worked out well so far! But I agree that the emotional stuff needs to be dealt with first!!
