Give yourself credit.

What are your thoughts/experiences with 'giving yourself credit' for the little things you do that support your weightloss goal? What are your thoughts on the information you read on Day 4? What is your plan to remind yourself to 'give yourself credit? What are some of the sabatoging thoughts you have that may roadblocks to completing this step?

I have changed my food plan for today three times already - I GIVE MYSELF CREDIT for keeping the changes within my calorie limits   I also give myself credit for throwing out a can of soup I was given but didn't like instead of eating it anyway

Day 4 re-visited  Give Myself Credit

Giving my self credit is hard because it seem to be a form of bragging and I was taught to never brag as a child. Giving myself credit for  most things is challenging especially when these are things I know I should  be doing in the first place. Like exercising every day or not having the extra ****** .

Because I tend to be a perfectionist I dwell more on what I did wrong rather than what I did right! Oh ,so much for this perfectionist to work on! LOL

We need to focus on the things we do right instead of beating ourselves up over things we did wrong.

I read that Gratitude can help people with depression. Studies have shown that people who focus on gratitude are helped within weeks... if they write down 5 things they are truly grateful for. I will give my self credit for 5 things no matter how small or insignifiacant I feel it is

 

I will continue to find reasons to credit myself to enforce the positive changes I am making.
