As I anticipate my August weigh-in, the anxiety seems to
build each day. I miss the days of carefree
weigh-ins when I was BELOW goal by 10 pounds.
But, those days are long gone.
I am not sure why I let this anxiety get the best of me. I start to become really restrictive with my
food when I am anticipating my monthly weigh-in whenever I am tiptoeing at the
top of my range. It is almost like a
fear of eating. It isn’t because I might
have to pay $9. But, it might be a
little about earning that Bravo star though.
I MUST remember to just trust the program. I have been doing this maintenance thing for
four years and it is working out pretty well.
So I just need to breathe, relax, and have a little faith.
With that being said, I do get restrictive with my food. I was going to have some frozen yogurt yesterday. I know I will be spending some WPPAs eating
out this weekend but I wanted to have some frozen yogurt today and gosh-darn-it,
I have the PPVs for it! When the time
came to leave for work and stop for yogurt, I had just eaten my breakfast and
wasn’t hungry. So I decided to skip the
stop for yogurt. I had 7 DPAs left at
the end of my day. Whoops. I didn’t feel I should fill those PPVs with junk
though. Because I didn’t have my frozen yogurt,
it was still on the brain. I made a run to WinCo and got some Drumstick cones to share with my coworkers. I had one for 8 PPVs. It did the trick...for now at least!
It isn’t a surprise that I stress over the scale
sometimes. I don’t know why the first of
the month weigh-in makes me anxious. Well,
yes I do. It is all about being over
goal. But, it isn’t the end of the world
(I have said that a time or two) and there is always another week to get my
weight on the books. I am confident I
will be I goal range. I just need to
keep telling myself that!
