Have you ever had one of those days, where you just battle with yourself? All weekend long I struggled. With being a mom, a wife, a friend, food, you name it I struggled with it. As soon as 1 little thought comes in my mind, the next follows shortly after. "I am not a fun mom, I don't have balloons for the party" " I am not a fun wife, because I have a hard time riding on a motorcycle". "I am fat". I am not pretty"...you get the picture.
I end up feeling like it is Fight Club in my head. Not like crazy, multiple personalities crazy, but like I have to fight with myself to stop the train to negative town.
I remember watching an Oprah where she talked about climbing a mountain. She said, it is important to keep your eye on your goal, the top of the mountain, but that it was important to stop and enjoy the view, give yourself credit for where you have been, how far you have come and what you have accomplished. Even when I think about that it is still so hard to stop the negativity.
So, I decided to take a deep breath and just soldier on. I cant say it was easy or all of a sudden I was not struggling, but I made it through the weekend. I cried and I still wish I had lost 15 lbs this weekend, but I did not. I am slowly but surely losing the weight and am making decisions that will make myself and my family healthier.
Enjoy the journey, don't let Fight Club get in the way, you have got this!!
