So yesterday I had some quiet time to reflect on what has been going on in my life. I thought about my most recent post about how I have gained some weight recently and how angry I am at myself over it. I looked at the loving comments that were left and I decided something. Although I know I won't be able to complete shed the anger and disappointment about my weight gains or lack of losses that I need to stop beating myself up. I know the only thing that leads to is a self defeating feeling that makes me more unmotivated then ever. I learned so much during my time of Mamavation and need to move on. There is a quote that I love that says and I am paraphrasing here "Its not how many times you fall its how many times you get up" so here is to getting up again and trying something new. I soul searched and I realized right now weight watchers isn't for me…I am going back as I said in my earlier post to myfitnesspal (feel to stalk me there Mommahunt16) I would love some company. I also realized this needs to be just as I learned in Mamavation not about a number but about being healthy and for me that healthiness needs to also be mental. So today I got up and went for a walk with my pups….trying to work on the healthy thing and realize that the scale and its stupid number will fall into line once everything else does. I need to stop obsessing and beating myself up. Thank you again for all the kind words it helps more than you know!
Well you pretty much posted what has been going around in my head too lately….I have went crazy with the holiday treats…so much that every gain has gone straight to my butt/thighs and all pants are tight.
(again)
So, I enjoyed the treats….oh, yes I did….time to start again with out beating myself up. ;-)
Remember, most important is that you feel good and healthy for yourself and your kids!
