Happiness

I stand on the scales every Sunday and now for a couple of weeks I’ve been preparing myself. I’ve been thinking: ‘I must have put on weight.’ Since I’ve been stuck for so long, I’d stopped believing in my method, in myself, if you like. I felt like a sportswoman without her motivation coach (is there such a thing?), mental trainer or whatever it’s called. When you don’t believe in anything anymore, it’s hard to stick to anything.

Last night I ‘knew’ that I’d put on weight, but how wrong I was. I’d finally left my ‘plateau’ and continued on the way down without really noticing. One kilo down. It feels great. Now I’m going to celebrate by going for a walk in the sunshine, bring my little keeshond and take lots of pics. I’ve reached my partial goal. Wish me luck for the next one.

One Response to “Happiness”

  1. That’s fabulous! I experienced something similar back in June, where what I “knew” was dead wrong. I also was pointed to a useful tool that I found useful for helping me see what was going on more clearly. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)

    Best wishes.
