I'm at my last hole!

So here we are - another Monday, another weigh in (WI). OK so not exactly what I anticipated, I mean I was able to fit into jeans a size down AND I am at the last hole on my belt. The feeling is so exciting and so the anticipation was that I would be down at my WI today, right? Well wrong - I had actually gained .8 lbs. CRAP!

And it is amazing how much it messes with your mind. You go from this streak of feeling really good about yourself, about all the progress you are making and excited about the journey to feeling bummed out and disappointed. A reality check of sorts - reminds you that this is a journey that will take time. In a world where instant gratification is so very prevalent, it can be hard to accept that it took time to put the weight on - and it WILL take time to take the weight off.

Then you realize that all this frustration and disappointment came from a gain of .8 of a pound - NOT EVEN A POUND! So it's time to put that in perspective and be honest with myself that I did not do everything that I could to do well this week. It's also time to look at the small victories - jeans that I couldn't even put on 4 weeks ago and a belt that needs a new hole.

So .8 - I accept that you are here, but I feel sorry for you because you won't be here for very long!!!
