The head stuff has been my down fall every time and I talk myself out of my diet.
For I found it very difficult most of the time to see myself slim except in photos side by side.
In the last few weeks something has clicked and I have experienced a mind shift and seem to been able to look at myself objectively and accept the changes as positive and actually like what I see in the mirror for a change and I have stopped being over critical of myself and my appearance. My expectations are more realistic.
I have discovered a new appreciation for myself and I like where I am now and hope I can stay in this state of mind...it has taken three years for me to get here, as I have been on and off the diet and up and down with my weight.
Throwing my achievements away because I did not fit some ideal I had in my head of myself, finding myself almost back to square one last March...which was a huge shock.
I know some break through this head stuff and get to this place a lot quicker as I lagged behind and I began to think it was beyond my reach which added to my own self doubt at times.
It is literally about being comfortable in your own skin and accepting and appreciating yourself where you are now.
You have worked very hard to get here, you have earned the right to wear that size 14...don't let the negative head stuff take it away from you...I know it is easier said than done but look at your trigger points...what sets you off thinking like this?
Along with clearing out the old big sizes from the wardrobe we also have to clear out the old baggage from our past that no longer serves who we are today or want to be.
