I’ve had a difficult month. I don’t really want to go into details. Nothing bad has happened. Life is good, but my motivation, focus and desire has waned. I’m just fed up with this journey which seems to be going on forever. And I’m missing having a support group to cheer me on. I’ve briefly considered rejoining a slimming class, but have some reservations about doing that so for now I’m going to stick it out.
One of my daughters is on a health and fitness drive so we’ve decided to cheer each other on. She sent me something yesterday that she’d seen on Tik Tok which has helped ground me and get real again. I’m trying not to feel sorry for myself, but instead act like a grown up and accept that life can be hard and full of challenges and to just get on with meeting them.
I’m going to share the quote here. Maybe it will help someone else who is struggling with the hardness of it all.
The feeling after a binge is hard – Resisting the binge is hard
Making progress is hard – Not making progress is hard
Losing weight is hard – Not losing weight is hard
Regret is hard – Discipline is hard
Working on self confidence is hard – Not feeling confident is hard
It’s all hard – CHOOSE YOUR HARD
So the hard I’m choosing is to carry on tracking calories, doing exercise, and being grateful for whatever losses come my way.
