The incessant voice in my head

Posted on March 23, 2016

This morning I woke up feeling sorry for myself, all miserable that I am on a diet, that I cannot eat what I want, that ... and it went on and on in my head. This self-pity is such a constant thing in my head, even as I make good choices and drink my water, there is this small voice that thinks "My friend M can eat whatever she wants, why not me!"

I don't know why not I, all I know is eating whatever I want has me here just under a 100kg - at a BMI of over 39, larded up all over, dimpled and round.

So, sorry voice in my head, today you cannot eat what you want, you will eat what you need - you will be happy about it and in a few weeks or months, you will be happy you did not get your way!

I have that same voice. It sucks. It's hard to change eating habits, but it's way harder to change your head. I'm still a work in progress, but every day I try to be kinder and more compassionate with myself. You're already doing better than a lot of people out there because you're here and you recognize that the voice in your head is not going to control you.

Oh Lily, losing weight is just such a minefield, today I feel like I just stepped on another one because I gave in to the voice over this past long-weekend. Time to dust ourselves off and continue onwards.

Love it! That voice will be singing a different tune in a few months! Keep it up!

Thank you. The only catch is that if it is not the miserable voice, it is the angry one that wants to be 65kg yesterday - I think I have an entire choir up there.
