To posters & Lurkers - Yours thoughts on self sabatage

Good Friday Everyone,

Last night I was pondering on this BECAUSE, its a new year, I set my plan to get back on course & BLAM, I slipped a little yesterday (already ) and almost immediately I started "stinkin' thinkin' ",...The food demon in my head was whispering just like the old fat days, it said, " OK you slipped a little today, - its already close to the end of the week, just go ahead and eat whatever for the next few days and restart your plan on Sunday - after all you've got that party Saturday night, you'll want to taste all the food & have a few drinks too -  it won't hurt and you can be back on plan again in no time"...

SLAP to the front of the head, reality checkI'm not listening...Back to the plan TODAY, IMMEDIATELY, this is how I got to really overweight in the first place and I'm not going there again...I've worked to hard and come a long way from the pre-surgery me...

Do you ever do this, I know I'm not the only one?  Lots of positive self-talk & setting up eating for the day is how I'm going to kick that demon to the curb...How about you?

 

Sure I do. That's why I waited until this Wednesday to start my "New Year's" recovery! So far so good. I fed my diabetic husband the last of the frozen thin mints he did not know about. 

Alesia,

I can so hear you on that one. I just decided that I'm going to have a better 2010 than 2009. I'm pretty lucky in that department because I felt that I did a pretty poor job of being a WLS representative in 2009. Sure, I didn't gain all of my weight back, but I did manage to prove that without a proper focus, I could gain it all back. I truely believe that I could gain it all back and it scared me to death.

What I like about this new year is that I'm still feeling better about my start in 2010 than any given few days in 2009. I've already learned that many people like you and all of the other members have those demons and we are all working to tame them. I know that this is conquerable I'm with you on kicking the demon to the curb.
