Okay it happens... sometimes... life just gets you down... or you get yourself down, it happens. So as we all know self pity or feeling sorry for oneself are truly about lack of self esteem and a general lack of enthusiasm with a little depression thrown in. hmmm ouch yeah that probably sums it up for me… Soooooooooooooooo I have decided to start another chapter in my life, and figure out how to overcome this…. (Thank goodness I don’t have chronic issues with self loathing and self pity) Oh and FYI I'm tired of others around telling me that this is all caused because of weight issues…. Well duh… that is where my problems stem from, but I know for a fact that the skinny girl down the street also has bouts. So here is the plan:
* Awareness – Know when I am feeling this way, and figuring out why. Blog about it, get it off my chest.
* Focus on the Positive – My New Mantra: “I am Grateful Today Because….”
*Compliment Myself- if I don’t lose weight during a week of truly trying hard, compliment myself by blogging all the non scale victories of the week

Oh, those bouts are awful. I'm sorry you were in a bad place. :(
ReplyDeleteYour plan for handling future bouts sounds great to me! I would caution, though, that you try not to focus *too* much on the why (or, at the very least, be prepared for the days where there doesn't seem to BE a why) - I struggle with this all the time. If I can explain why I'm upset, it's not as big of a deal; however, I can't seem to cut myself any slack for the days that are just crappy and don't have a logical explanation: I end up beating myself up further for having "no GOOD reason." It can be a vicious cycle, so just be watchful and try to be kind to yourself if you encounter an inexplicable bout. *hugs*
