This morning I spent some introspection time, which was very helpful emotionally.  Getting in the right head space is the only way to win this game!  I am from the Louise Hay school of thought which says that what you think or feel affects you.  

 

Lately, I have been at a weight plateau that I feel is trying to break me.  I learned about toxicity plateaus and started working on detoxing my poor body since I am right in that 15 - 20 pound losing level that has popped up for toxicity issues.  I know I am not alone in this plateau thing as I have seen many fellow Dietbet gamers upset about working hard but not losing.  To them I maintain, "Keep the faith!  We can do this!"  

 

Now I need to listen to that advice for myself.

 

I haven't been paying attention to those Louise Hay ideas.  Normally a plateau wouldn't bother me so much, but my Kickstarter ends soon and I have been struggling with getting my weight down enough to win my weigh out.  Normally I would be focusing on good health, not scale numbers.  In my introspection, I realized I have been angry at myself for my lack of dedication and angry with my body for not losing those few last pounds.  

 

What I also realized is that at the moment, my body is angry with me as well for not taking good care of it and not appreciating what it has done for me. I have been adding to my toxicity with my own thoughts, making health things harder than necessary.  So I spent time going over the amazing things my body has done for me lately, and how much better I look and feel than I did when I started this journey.

 

I am so ready for the Maintainer I just joined!
