At a Standstill

Well, it has been a hot minute since I posted anything. My absence started because I had come to a sort of standstill with my progress. My weight loss stalled, and I had a real hard time keeping motivation to continue with my healthy lifestyle. So I felt that since I didn't have anything positive to report, that it wasn't worth reporting. I was wrong. I re-read through my older posts, and I realized two things. First of all, I promised to share this journey, even "my mistakes and failures." And second of all, reading those posts, I realized that I need to take my own advice. I SAID I was human, didn't I? And just trying to figure things out. I SAID it wasn't all about the weight loss and that I just wanted to get healthy and feel better, right? Well then, time to listen to myself! Re-reading the posts was the boost I needed to get back on track and stick with it. If you need some inspiration when your weight loss stalls, re-read them too. I had good advice, LOL. Now for me to use it as well. It is NOT about the number on the scale. It is about feeding my body good things and feeling better. Now, I have not completely "fallen off the wagon," as they say. I just haven't been as strict. I have still been eating as healthy as possible while we are quarantined at home. I have had to make a few exceptions, like not being able to get my Gluten Free bread. It is always sold out when I finally venture to the store. And I am sorry, but sometimes, just sometimes, you just need chocolate when your confined to your house during a National Pandemic! And that is OK. We have to keep our mental state healthy too. Don't even feel bad about it. Just try to make the rest of what you eat that day healthy for your body. Hang in there and do your best. That is all any of us can do. 💪😊
