It helps me to focus on thinking in terms of what I've lost overall from my highest weight. In my journal every day I always start it with (pretending I'm you):

"I have lost 32 pounds since [date of highest weight]"

It's a reminder of the bigger picture of how much we have done. In other words, unless you weighed in and gained 37 pounds this week, you are still on the right track and have accomplished a lot!

I am proud of you and very impressed

Thank you Jenn, i need to be better about journalling, something i can carry with me to write what i put in my mouth and keep myself accountable in that way.. i love your idea of the weight lost, too.. i know i should be celebrating what i have lost overall... i needed to be reminded of this, thank you.. (((Jennifer)))

it's SO easy to get stuck on thinking negatively, with any little gain.. i know i've not been good to my body eatingwise over last few days, and honestly some of that gain could have came from the fact i didnt eat at all week 1 of my dental surgery.. i knew i was going to gain a bit back, maybe it's showing now, 2 weeks later..

i need to try and be nicer to myself, and really celebrate the weight loss than the bit of gain.. i am back on track, eating better today - so that's something to celebrate too, right?

thank you darling! ♥
