The last few weeks have been extremely stressful what with one thing or another, finished off with my birthday (not stressful, but very drink and food-filled ) but it's been useful.
I've realised that little by little, I've changed my attitude to what's shown on the scales - and it's not good. First of all it was 56kgs (at the end of last year) that was the big bad. Then 56 was okay but 56.5 wasn't. Then 57 and so on. Now I'm at 58.7kgs when my original goal - which I hit - was 55.5. That's half a stone or thereabouts over my goal of two years ago. If I don't stop it, I'll have put on all that I lost and probably more.
It made me realise, when people say "How did you get so big?", they never understand that it's little acceptances that over time grow into one big problem. A packet of crisps or so leading to an extra couple of hundred grams may seem like nothing at the time, but that's now 3KGS over my target.
Even this morning, I thought to myself "Well, it's not 59kgs", which was when I kicked myself up the derriere. And so I'm back on the wagon and my mindset is feeling good.
Hello for the umpteenth time!
