Week 1 Weigh In/Stats Update

I woke up this morning, knowing is was weigh in day and was really looking forward to getting on that scale today and seeing a 10 pound drop! 

Then I had to talk myself through things....before I actually got on the scale.  First off...Why do I/we do that to ourselves?  Set unrealistic expectations??  Unrealistic expectations set's you up for not meeting the expectation, which inevitably will turn into guilt, the feeling of failure, etc.  I learned this from my therapist, Steven Haig - he taught me that #1 - think more realistically of projects and situations so that you can identify realistic goals.  The other thing I learned is that I am a hater sometimes....of myself. I self-talk negatively about myself and to myself constantly.  I am the one that not only tells myself what a horrible person I am, but I am the only one that tells me.  Meaning.... I create the negative talk...all by myself. AND IT IS NOT TRUE!!  So it is a process, but I try to speak and think more positively about myself and my accomplishments.  Thank you Steve!!  http://www.haigtherapy.com/about-steve.html

I  am really working on that in my life... realistic expectations. I tend to dream and want BIG - sometimes - heck, honestly, they are usually unrealistic goals.  Anyway... I am working on it everyday to flip it around!!  I am also working on reminding myself of what I have accomplished throughout my 48 years and to speak more positively to myself. It is a process.... but, I am definitely doing this every day... part of my journey.  :)

So... my stats, right???!!! I wish I had a drum role right now....lol.   Best I can do....


I realize the below can't be seen.... but here is the down and dirty:

Since Tuesday, January 28, 2014, just 3 days ago - I have lost a total of 1.20 pounds and....GET THIS....are you ready, because to me...this is INCREDIBLE, in inches I lost a total of 17.25 inches!  I am a very happy woman right now.  The loss of both the 1.2 pounds and the 17.25 inches is a FABULOUS start and I am ecstatic with the results!!

FABULOSO!!!  Thanks to all of you for your support messages and emails and thank you for being part of my journey!!
