Weekly Weigh-In!

I am up a half a pound this week. I'm not at all surprised, because of the time of the month and because I didn't always make the best food choices this week. I'm still working on that, and I'm sure I always will be. But I'm making improvements.

Some things I have learned, or have been reminded of, so far:

• There are ups and downs, but the idea is to keep moving generally in the right direction.
• Even as I become more comfortable with myself, I have to remember to keep pushing myself. I can accept myself for who I am and still work to improve myself.
• Real change is hard. I should expect it to be hard.
• Real change doesn't happen from wishing and hoping--it happens when I do something.
• Deciding to make a change and planning to make a change are only the beginning. I then have to ACT.
• Don't discount the positive. It's not helpful. Discounting the negative, however, can be helpful.
• It's okay to give myself credit and feel good about the good things I do, even if I don't do EVERYTHING right.

I will probably do my weekly weigh-in on Thursday next week, because I am leaving to go to my daughter's wedding!!! Have a great week, everyone!!!
