Stall

I feel totally stalled in my weight loss efforts. I guess part of it is that I am feeling under the weather. Also I have a major sunburn which is making me crabby, along with the pain and the headaches. I am still in pain and it feels like the peeling is about to begin. My skin is so sensitive. I cannot believe that I totally spaced sunscreen. I am normally fairly conscious about those kinds of things. I am horribly lucky that my son is unscathed.

I have my annual exam tomorrow and am I am prepared for a mini lecture on my lobsterness :)

As for my weight loss, I have been eating too much since last Friday. I have actually eaten some healthy foods but in too large quantities. I am constantly wanting chips and sweets.

I have been trying to use visualization and restating my goals to stay on track.

-To wear my wrap around skirt again
-To wear my old shorts again
-To run after my child
-To one day run with my best friend
-To not have to worry about diabetes, heart disease and such
-To wear a size 10

I should add that I am not beating myself up over this but I am feeling really frustrated. I hope a day off and a walk tomorrow will be the refresher I need.

I am glad you are not beating yourself up! You have been doing a good job. I think that once we start to go astray with our grand plans to be healthy and all that jazz, we just give up. In Shambhala we have whole teachings on this phenomemon called "losing heart." Perhaps I can photocopy some stuff for you on this just so you can get another perspective on how to work with this. I love you and I love your goals. Oh, and by the way, you FUCKING OWE IT TO ME to be healthy and I owe it to you. Don't make me be at your funeral a day earlier than is necessary, and I won't make you, either. Ever since people started dying on us on a regular basis I can't stop thinking of what it would mean to me to lose you or Gabrielle or Solomon, and I would try to explain it to you except I think that I don't need to bother because if you imagine losing me or Gabrielle or Solomon you must feel the same thing.
