Down But Not Out, Broken But Not Defeated!!

      Down But Not Out, Broken But Not Defeated!! It me took until Thursday to finally feel this way, BUT I got there!! And I got there while totally staying on the WW program. In the past when I get knocked down like I did last Monday night at weigh in, I would QUIT!! I would use that disappointment as a reason to be defeated. A reason to give up on me yet again. This time I was very, very down and withdrew myself from as much human interaction as I could for 2 days, BUT I ate right and journaled everything!!  I was not able to get my body moving though. No exercise for me is not a good thing, but food is definitely my biggest hurdle. Sticking to a healthy eating plan through the emotional week I had, I call a HUGE SUCCESS!!!  So here I am giving myself a pat on the back!!  I hope you do not mind!!

      Historically I have felt alone each time I embark on this challenge of losing weight. I feel like I am the only one beating myself down with tons of A.N.T's, also known as Automatic Negative Thoughts. Feeling alone would allow me a reason to quit. I no longer feel alone!! Actually, I have been quite overwhelmed once again by the support I have gotten from so many people through this blog, facebook and friends. I have gotten phone calls and messages from many with words of support and encouragement.   I have had tears in my eyes realizing that I am not the only one struggling through challenges right now.

       I am thankful to those of you who shared your stories with me to encourage me. I feel so blessed to have so many people cheering me on and wanting to see me succeed!!!
