Today is a day for me to eat my words. I've been feeling calm and positive ... until sometime yesterday!! The past three days I've had "gains" and I'm getting grumpy about it. I understand the gain on Sunday ... I drank on Saturday. The alcohol dehydration and rehydration process makes sense to me. But Sunday, Monday I drank a TON of water and have been right back on my plan. So, this is me grumbling and trying to remember that it doesn't really mean a whole lot ... they are simply fluctuations. But those old fears float to the surface so damn quickly. The feeling of "fat" ... the temptation to "restrict" ... giving too much meaning to the numbers on the scale. I think maybe I'm learning impaired.
So, what to do? Tell you all for starters. Then, I guess I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and stay on course. Ugh. Oh yes ... argue with myself, remind myself that I am doing what I need to do and that fluctuations are NORMAL. Remind myself that I am NOT destined to be overweight and out of shape. Remind myself to be kind to me and that my attitude does impact my overall status and well being. Look at my progress and focus on that. And ... remind myself that this too shall pass. Life is process not product ... I won't ever be "done" and over time these moments will arrive less often and have less impact on me. I'm still a "babe" when it comes to being comfortable in my skin ... be patient with myself.
Okay ... must finish getting ready for work, pack my lunch, get to rolling down the road!!! I hope everyone has a good day, I look forward to seeing how you all are doing today!!

Yes, the whole process requires a great deal of patience with oneself. You will be fine.

Information is right, unfortunately I have never been any good at patience. I hope you do better. Hang in! You can do this!!

Patience? Isn't that a 4-letter word? LOL!!! I'm tired ... I think that is part of my poor attitude. Thanks for the encouragment, I do need it.

One of my favorite T-shirts of all time is the two vultures looking haggard sitting on a tree limb with one saying to the other..."Patience my ass I'm going to kill something". Then there is the one "Patience is a virtue....that I do not possess". But even with all that I think that patience becomes an issue when I get ahead of myself. Even when I do it in a positive way....when I want something good to happen or am dreading something bad I get impatient. I think that perhaps the best thing that you can do in this situation is "pack my lunch" and "get to rolling down the road".

Mad, I understand tired. But for me it is not FS, it is health issues. They seem to be multiplying on me. And I am just flat out tired of it all. You are doing great, a little set back, you can go out and drink once in a while and be fine. Stay positive and try not to let the scale affect you negatively. ((hugs))

Hang in there. You cannot give into fear. We both know in the past we have given in and just said this is our future being fat. That is a lie and we have to record positive thoughts over the negative ones. I am talking to myself as much as to you. Go have yourself some fun and time to regroup and it will be fine. Stay the course.

Controlling one's own mind is one of the most difficult things, in spite of how seemingly simple it should be. I sometimes feel that we have been somehow brainwashed into thinking that losing weight (dieting) is hard. If not conciously, we believe that in our subconscious mind and it plays all kinds of tricks on us. After years of dealing with diets, we begin to appreciate that a considerable amount of concentration is required to get to where we want to be. After that, it begins all over again with the maintenance part. Try to keep yourself focused without being too hard on yourself, it's a delicate balance. :-)
