Ok so how come I can not stick to anything....
You know it's follow through. I commit to lots of things and when I do my heart is right. I want to do everything I commit to... I really do. It's the sticktoitivness that I have a problem with.
I did lose 2 lbs this week but it wasn't without struggle. I had a rough week in general. Sick kids + nights= a tired Mom. So I didn't feel like cooking or anything.
I do need self control and self discipline in a BIG way. I need it through all of my life not only in my diet. I guess doing this and actually sticking to it is showing me that. So my prayer and goal for this week is to stick to it. One day at a time. One meal at a time. One choice at a time.
I want to honor God with all of me. I want to be a good steward with everything including this body he gave me for this life.
So if anyone who reads this belives in prayer say a quick prayer for me and in return if I can pray for you about anything let me know.
My next goal is to be 2lbs lighter when I weigh in again. I weigh in next Tuesday November 17th.
Good luck everyone!
Sounds to me like you can be a little hard on yourself too. Do you watch Biggest Loser??? I think there was an episode where Jillian told one of the contestants that they were afraid of success. Maybe that has something to do with your hesitation to follow through with things you've comitted to. I am completely guilty of this. It's like self-fulfilled prophecy or something. I'm so afraid that I'll fail in the end, so I just give up somewhere in the middle. Ridiculous right?? But what happens when you do succeed? How do you define yourself then? A 2 pound loss is incredible, especially in spite of having such a tough week. Hope the kiddos are feeling better. Give yourself some credit for what you've accomplished so far. You are on the right track and moving in the right direction. Keep it up. You'll succeed at this, I know it. And you are in my prayers. |
I am afraid of failing so I tend to back away from trying.... does that makes sense? I havent watched it this season but I love that show. Hopefully we will be able to help eachother through this. It would be cool to find a friend on here. Thats something I never thought I would say.... :) Good luck. I look forward to reading your thoughts and advice. |
