4/14/10 this too shall pass...

it's been really tough getting back on track after my last weigh in/measurements. i havent fallen off the wagon, but i feel kinda stuck. if i were keeping my food journal this week, it would not be pretty. i know that i focus way too much on that number on the scale, like it defines me or something. i know that it doesnt, but my brain and my emotions are not on the same page right now. so, because i am obessed with weighing myself, i have decided to not weigh again until its time to do my measurements again with lindsay.....in july! i will begin to let my clothes be my guide. my friend, kim (who has lost quite a bit of weight) told me that she doesnt weigh herself. She knows that she has to buy smaller sizes whenever she goes shopping. I like that philosphy a lot more than torturing myself every week by getting on the scale, thanks kim! even lindsay told me that i weigh myself too often. i just need to focus on my eating and my workouts and the weight will continue to come off. this is not a competition....didnt get fat overnight, not gonna get fit overnight.

just in the few minutes of typing this blog, i am feeling better. i can feel the fog lifting..... I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST!!!

all of me,
Char

  1. Hey Charlotte, This has always been a battle for me also, and I can't seem to lose anything. If I do, I gain it right back. I don't have any help, with the doctor I'm with now, so I think I may be changing doctors soon. I would like to follow what you're doing, and I really wish I had a partner in helping me to lose and eat the right way. I will be praying that God will please you with this journey. This is indeed a hard one, but as you stated, "I can do all things through Christ!!" Be blessed always.

  2. I admire you because no matter what you bounce right back. I think its absolutely a brilliant idea to chuck the scale until July. Imagine how exciting it will be! You can do it my friend.
