I was afraid I was alone! <br /><br />Not many omnivores understand that sometimes it can be tough for veggies to lose weight because of all the carbs we eat.

Don't ...COMMENT FROM KATIE AT FIT LIVING DAILY<br /><br />Don't be so hard on yourself. It's all just part of the process-truly! Look back at what happened. You saw the chips, you thought about them, it killed you to walk by them. Then you blogged about it. All GREAT things. But the tricky part is that there it was. Right there in your head. Too late! It's already there! When triggered emotionally, you did what was "natural", turned to what was in your brain. <br />Been there, done that, a thousand times. But hardly ever, now.<br /><br />A little trick that I learned is to STOP my brain the very second one of those friggin' thoughts pop into it! I see a McDonald's sign, and if I don't shut it down and immediately put another, more positive thought in its place, I'll end up at McDonald's sometime in the next 3 days. Things like that? They function almost like clockwork!<br /><br />Your brain needs to be retrained, and you're just at the start of the process. Picture the exercise you're going to do that day. Think of yourself being strong in some OTHER context other than eating. Think of a beautiful dress you want to wear. Replace that thought, immediately. What you dwell on is what you get.<br /><br />It's just ME maybe, but I think that's a LOT of pressure to have put on you, having to answer WHY you did or did not do something. It's all exploration. You have to learn. Every SINGLE thing you learn is a positive. It matters not one whit if you did something "bad" like eating too much before a weigh-in because you were freaked out. It's not proof that you're weak or bad. It's simple a fact that you can look at, without judgment and say ....hmm. What have I learned from this? <br /><br />Katie JThe Shrinking Vegetarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754319709443197425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020610160320843363.post-79884939856348141022011-01-13T10:14:48.327+10:302011-01-13T10:14:48.327+10:30This comment has been removed by the author.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653926604510335017noreply@blogger.com
