Ok, maybe this weighing every day thing was a bad idea.....
The ultimate oxymoron- a morbidly obese weight loss expert!
I was just thinking about how I am such a weight loss expert! WHAT?! A fat, weight loss expert? That's right, folks! I have tried almost every diet that has ever been out there, from Atkins to Weight Watchers and everything in between. I've read countless books on weight loss and numerous articles in magazines about weight loss. I've watched many a season of biggest loser (isn't that qualifier?!). I've even lost weight, including my biggest success of a 75lb weight loss. I would dare any professional nutritionist or personal trainer to come up with information that I don't already know.....so then, why am I still overweight?!?! Good question. The answer is simple. Although I know what I SHOULD be doing, I don't actually DO IT!!!
I have the perfect example for you right here on this blog. I know very well that it is not a good idea to weigh every day, and yet, I am doing it! Why do I do this?!?! Am I so arrogant as to think that I am the exception to every rule? I surely hope not. Is it just my personality to have to learn everything the hard way? Possibly. Am I just such an impatient person, that it's excruciatingly hard for me to wait an entire week to get on the scale to see if my efforts are paying off. Definitely! LOL! At least I can laugh at myself today, right. :~) Some day, maybe I can be a slim weight loss expert, but for now, I've just got to remind myself to take my own darn advice for a change!!! Wait a minute....I think I just made a psychological break through! Impatience is the reason I am weighing every day, even though I know I shouldn't. Impatience is the reason I always used to put off my weight loss plan until 'tomorrow' or 'Monday'. (I want the unhealthy foods right NOW!) Impatience is the reason I yell at my kids way too much. THE SOLUTION TO ALL MY PROBLEMS MUST BE PATIENCE!!!! Woo hoo! Thank you blog for helping me with my completely free therapy session.
Ok, I'm getting a little impatient with this long blog post, so I better wrap it up. ;~)
Happy healthy eating everyone!
It's a lifestyle change for sure, so you can't expect it to happen overnight.... One change I've made in the past couple of weeks is to drink water with lunch and dinner. I used to have juice or milk or whatever, but I decided those were calories I probably didn't need and water was fine. Every little bit helps right? :)
