Frustration

Despite my best efforts I have found myself frustrated with myself. I am frustrated with my lack of weight loss and frustrated with all my hard work seeming to be for NAUGHT.

This is usually the time when I give up. I throw in the towel and proclaim that this is just what its going to be, there is NOTHING I can do about it, and I might as well just get comfortable. But this time is different. I am NOT going to throw in the towel, I am NOT going to give up or give in. I am going to preserver through this.

I will chose to eat a healthy meal this morning, and I will eat a healthy lunch, followed by a healthy dinner. Today is just one day in my journey to a healthier self and I cant let one day be the determining factor in my journeys course. Of course this is more like a month after changes but who's counting?

Ill admit this is HARD, and I am FRUSTRATED and even envious of those I see doing better then me. But I have to remember that just because I do not see outward signs of my hard work and changes I know that my INSIDES are doing better. I know that I am making a difference and the changes are effecting me long term and they are real.

I have to take a step back and let go of my need for immediate gratification and outward results. I have to stay on track and preserver through my frustrations.

No one said this would be easy, but I know it is worth the effort. I am worth the effort so I will keep moving forward, take my frustrations and embrace them, acknowledge them and then lay them back down to visit with another day.

  1. Keep it up girl. Things will be just fine. We didn't put it on overnight and so it will not just fall off overnight. Just remember not to weigh yourself too often or you'll just be discouraged.
