Little By Little

Weigh-in day.  

I know I am supposed to consider every little bit a triumph.  I would be lying to myself if I said that I don't go in with higher expectations than I probably should.  This has always been my downfall.  I go in with high expectations, and when those expectations don't come to fruition, I give up.  

I tell my reps all the time that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.  Time to bring a little sanity back to this process.  

The reality is that I DID lose weight this week.  That needs to be the focus.  Dr. B has told me (over and over again) that as long as I'm losing, then I am on track.  It is difficult to convince myself of that when I expect so much more.  If I am going to do something, I want to excel.  

Losing = excellence.  Losing = excellence.  Losing = excellence.

So, little by little I am winning this battle.   I am not necessarily losing the weight in leaps and bounds but hopefully doing it slowly will both create change in my life and ensure that it stays off this time.
