Learning to accept and love your body no matter what shape and size.

They are getting smaller, the thoughts getting quieter and they will go. I think most of what I have now is habitual negative automatic thoughts and its gonna take time to get out of those habits, but by golly as you say I am a driven person and enough is enough! It is frustrating that I'm so down on myself when my opinion of others weight is so relaxed, as you say I dont think any less of others. Why such unachievable standards for myself?<br /><br />I have managed to do without the scales between weigh ins which is the longest I have gone without them in far far to many years and I hope to extend that period over time. My goal is to *know* I havent put on a huge amount of weight and not noticed by focusing on my clothes and how they feel and fit. <br /><br />As for the weight loss difference, I am disappointed but not upset or devastated. Another small step in the right direction!

That bit that thinks you need to lose weight is the only part that I would change about you - because, dammit, you are utterly beautiful, and look amazing. You always HAVE looked amazing, and always will. <br /><br />I want to take the scales away from your life forever, so that you cannot have that down moment of not losing as much as you thought. <br />None of this should be about how much the figures on a scale read, none of it at all. <br />I want to teach you that weight DOES NOT MATTER. <br />The same way that you don't think any less of me for my weight, I want to be able to teach you to think that way about yourself, but I don't know how.<br /><br /><br />You are one of the most driven people I know, and one of the hardest working - and I think you need to remember to be kind to yourself. <br /><br />PS - you never lose as much weight the 2nd week as the 1st. It's nothing to do with being your fault. It's just your body settling down.Lisa Cookwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056048539979219856noreply@blogger.com
