So, have you ever had that "skinny" feeling, stepped on the scale, then realized it was JUST a feeling? Or, have you ever stepped on the scale and not liked the numbers that showed up so you decided you were wearing your "heavy" sweatpants, then stepped off the scale, took off the sweatpants, then tried weighing again? Or, saw what the scale said, tried going to the bathroom and then weighing again? OR, stepped on the scale, noticed that one or more of your kids was in the vicinity and made them step back or leave the room in fear that they would somehow step on the scale with you or their mere presence would weigh you down more? Ya, neither have I. That would be just plain silly, huh?
I have decided that I really need to stop weighing myself. I know weight isn't everything. I KNOW that the way I feel and the way I look is more relevant than a number on the scale. Yet I weigh myself and I am disappointed if I don't lose weight or if I gain a pound.
Today I decided that I am going to give myself this weekend. I am going to take the weekend to enjoy myself and not obsess about my weight or how I look. I am just going to be happy with myself and everything I am blessed with. On Monday, I am going to try some sort of fruit cleanse. Not really a cleanse. I am just going to have a lot of fruit and veggie smoothies. I am going to fill up on fruits and veggies and not worry about anything else. I am going to work out and I am going to tell myself that I am doing enough. No more negative talk to myself. I am the one who brings myself down by not living up to my own expectations. Starting Monday, that all changes. I am going to be healthy AND happy!
Oh, and I am sure you are wondering so I better not forget to mention that I did get the house cleaned today. It is a miracle! It took me ALL day but I finally got things done and I am so happy!
Day 119....hoping for sunshine!
