Today I needed a chauffeur, maid, chef, life coach, and husband. LOL!! I'm too tired. I suck it up and get it done though. Somewhere in between all those hats I wore today, I just wanted to forget about my weight loss goals and dive in head first to my first love FOOD! I got so frustrated I almost cursed myself out, lmbo. Those of you who have ever been on a diet know that you go through mood swings and some days you just don't want to hear the voice of reason. Well, I had one of those moments with myself.
Here's how the conversation almost went:
Self: You know you want something real good to eat tonight I'm tired of eating all this damn healthy food.
Inner Self: Yes I know you are but it's already starting to get warm and you have all those maxi dresses that you ordered four sizes too small for motivation.
Self: I don't give a damn about a dress right now or no damn heat this summer! I want some cookies.
Inner Self: You say that now but if you eat a bunch of stuff you know you shouldn’t right now you will have remorse when you’re done. I’m just trying to look out for the big picture here and that’s weight loss. Just hang in there.
Self: You get on my nerves always wanting me to eat right. Some chips and cheese dip want hurt us. I promise to only eat a few.
Inner Self: When have you only been able to eat a few damn chips, now you about to make me mad.
Self: Calm down! I’m not used to you getting upset with me. I’m just saying a little won’t hurt.
Inner Self: Okay maybe you should let me steer this ship until you get a little stronger.
Self: Okay!
LMBO!!!! Those of you who have struggled with weight know exactly what I mean. Those conversations are real you have when breaking old habits. I won this battle and I will continue to win the ultimate battle of weight loss. I don’t know what about this time has been so different for me, maybe it’s the new opportunities that are opening up for me or could be that maybe just maybe I’m tired. Tired of being in a body I no longer recognize. I have too much to still accomplish to be plagued by something that I have control over. It’s in my blood to fight for a better life and greater possibilities. Stay motivated and encouraged it does get easier we just have to get through the rough patches. I have some motivating factors and I’ve created a vision board which helps me a lot. Nothing unrealistic but definitely worth the fight!
