A new week to start

So I weighed in yesterday to see a 4lb gain. That's when I put the scale away. I had in one week derailed so many of my newly aquired healthy lifestyle behaviors; let me explain. I started body-checking (every time I passed a mirror, I would life up my shirt and examine my belly). I would weigh myself 2-3 or even 4x a day to see how my weight fluctuated. I started developing food-phobia where I didn't trust myself to make the right decision and so I would choose the wrong foods just as self-sabotaging behavior. I also began to question my own beauty based on the weight of the day. So I put the scale away. And I spent half an hour naked yesterday just trying to show some body love. And I ate what I wanted yesterday keeping an eye on veggies/portions/fruits. And I feel 1000000x better.

My duty to my body and to myself is to get my body to where it needs to be without being bogged down by some of these UNhealthy behaviors. And so I will not half-ass it this week. I won't make up excuses or use my emotional mental state instead of hunger cues to make food judgements. I won't doubt my own ability to eat well---I've done it before. I'll incorporate some walks (which I actuallY DID do this week) and I'll stop doing silly things like body-checking. Here's to a new week and a refreshing start.
