The ups and downs.... on the scale!

So I'm officially down 28.6 pounds so far!!

I feel like it's more... because my clothes are fitting a lot better and some are even loose. But I know my weigh in day is Monday... I will not be stepping on the scale early!

I don't want to self sabotage. The number on the scale is not the ultimate goal. It's getting healthier and feeling better physically and mentally!

So I have for you an accomplishment that has nothing to do with the numbers on the scale... I was running late for work this morning... I overslept... (oops!) and grabbed a random uniform shirt out of the closet as I'm rushing to get dressed. On the way to work I realized it is a uniform shirt I've not been able to wear for 2 YEARS!!!!

After starting off the morning in a rush and feeling crappy because I overslept, I have now a great feeling as I type this because I feel so proud to be wearing this shirt.

I haven't gone in depth too much yet with my issue with food. Which I will do on a future blog... but I am a food addict to give you the short and sweet version. Last night, my kids wanted pizza for dinner... So I caved and ordered pizza. Instead of eating it... I splurged and bought myself a salad from Subway. So this is a big deal to me. I didn't allow the little "fat girl" in my head to win this round.


What about you? Do you self sabotage? What is the moment that you triumphed over your demon?
I don't care if the demon is food, alcohol, the stair climber, the treadmill, or the big hill by your house. We all have that one thing that we feel keeps coming back to get us...

You are not alone in this!! I've got your back!

XO,
