Let’s talk about…….self sabotage and our weight “range” goals!
Whether you have “food pushers” in your life, who (for whatever reason) don’t want you to lose the weight, or loved ones who think you “look absolutely fine”….comments from the “peanut gallery” can, and a lot of times DO affect us.
If you’ve been reading my posts, here is Part 2, from what I wrote about yesterday, which was the topic of my weight that my boyfriend and I had at the picnic on Sunday.
We were scrolling through pics on FB and came across a pic of me in the blue dress (pictured) that he had bought for me. He asked why I hadn’t worn it in a long time.
Well, I haven’t worn it because it’s too tight….I’m not as thin as I was in 2018! And his comment was “You’re fine just the way you are. You don’t need to lose anymore”.
In my mind, that almost gave me license to say, great….then yes, let’s go get gelato.
But you know what? He always thinks I look great! He thought I looked great 33 plus pounds heavier.
But what about ME? Where do I feel comfortable? What’s the range that works best for me? I’m not there yet.
I had kept off the 33 plus pounds that I had lost in 2018, for over a year. But the pretty restrictive diet I was on, in addition to the version of IF, I just couldn’t maintain the loss….especially during the early very stressful days of the pandemic.
Now, following the 2B Mindset way of eating, I’m not only eating more, I’m finally changing my “all or nothing” diet mentality. Working on the “last 10 pounds”
Some people may think I’m “thin enough”. But I know how my clothes fit me. I’m the one that has to decide what my “weight range” should be.
We all need to be realistic. But sometimes you need to turn off those “self sabotaging” thoughts, and stay true to your goals!
