Self sabotage


Weight today: 13 8
Loss this week: 1lb
Total loss: 1 11

So I self sabotage sometimes. I spent years desperate to lose weight whilst eating too much food - but we all know that. Something you might not know - I struggle with groups of people/friends, of more than say 3. I don't feel confident and worry that at least one of them doesn't like me. I then try to say something nice/funny/intelligent but I always get it so wrong and end up saying something bad/crass/stupid. But this isn't about me (this week at least) this is about you. What do you do to self sabotage? I bet there's something if you think about it. I need to be careful when I suggest examples as I don't want anyone to think I'm actually talking about them - I assure you I'm not. If you read something that rings a bell it is a coincidence.
Do you spend time with friends who actually make you feel bad? That drain your energy and make you depressed? Do you think you should bin them, and maybe just enjoy the company of people who make you feel great?
Do you wear clothes that make you look fatter or too skinny or too old and frumpy. Why don't you Go shopping and buy clothes that fit and are fun and colourful? You'll feel better I'm sure.
Maybe you get Hangry (angry when hungry) and be mean to your wife so she gets upset when she doesn't deserve it? (Ok this one isn't made up lol).
Anyway, what ever your Achilles heel think about whether it's in your power to change things. Small changes can have big impacts!

So look what I found this week (pic). Delicious dark chocolate presented in a perfect little mouthful. How divine!

I pulled out my suitcase of summer clothes the other day. It was very exciting and there was lots of 'ooh, I forgot I had that', but alas a lot of my clothes are still too small.  It was a shame really because I've just started to see that I'm making progress and my body is changing....But that I still have so far to go. Made me sad but I have been reminded that I have done well, and even though I have a way to go I will get there! They've gone back in the suitcase until next year! Next summer they will definitely be back out!!

Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out.
