newnormal's Notizen, 04 Feb 16

Ok, I'm done guessing (for now) what my body is doing. I'm going to start looking for NSV'S (non-scale victories) like I encourage others to do. Keep making the positive changes and focus on the things I'm taking for granted (endurance, energy level, etc.) instead of only the scale. I notice them but I don't focus on them.

The biggest take-away I think I'm noticing is that when my schedule is externally changed, I am still not putting my identified goals as a priority in front of other priorities (work, family, friends, others' expectations for my time/activities). That's been an issue in the past for me on a larger scale and I thought I had that under control but apparently it's slipped into a side-crack that I can now address to make me healthier.

I think almost everyone who takes this journey with us understands that weight loss is not really about the food. It's our mind's relationship with and dependence on food. If it were simply a physical thing, we'd all be thin and stay that way. If we don't address the mental part of this journey, the circle never stops. So many of us have been successful then let it go, then worked hard again to be successful only to have (ok, let) it slip away when things in life are hard for one reason or another.

I want to be thin, and I want to be physically and mentally healthy. I can't address that without addressing the mindset and FIXING the pieces that are broken or warped. Noticing where the "circles" are is a good place to start and address the feelings behind the behaviors behind the issues. Until we learn the lesson we're supposed to learn, we continue in the same circular path with the same results. I'm getting dizzy on this circle.

You inspire and encourage me and remind me to laugh at myself when I take things too seriously. I wish you all were closer to do a meet-up. Who's in?? I'm in Orlando, FL :D

I hope your Thursday is wonderful, buddies.Have a great day...
