journaling....
I have now lost what seems an enourmous amount of weight... however I still find myself hung up on my final goal. I know I have at least three more plastic surgeries to go through, which will remove skin and weight, and I KNOW that I am still losing... however I see those around me hitting their goals and they JUST had their surgeries... I find myself getting a bit discouraged.. even though I had a "bit" more to lose, my head still plays tricks on me.
However.... I have a great weapon to combat it! Journaling.
Journal wirting has kept me sane since this whole journey began. I am not one to write every day, however I write often enough. On those really hard days... I read back to when I was first exicted about crossing my legs... something I do now without really thinking about! It is nice to re-live those achievements.
The pictures help, but not as much as hearing it from myself how much things have changed.
So, when I want to throw my scale at the wall, and everything seems to not be going my way... journaling is really helping me cope.
Just thought I would share, since I had seen on here several times where people are getting a bit antsy or upset about one thing or another. Its helping me!!!
