I'm busted, I have not weighed for over a week. The truth of the matter is I have not really tried to lose weight for at least three weeks. The reason is stress, I am a stress eater and we are under a lot of stress at work. As I mentioned before we have a big inspection coming up. I know in some ways I am giving into my weakness and making excuses, but I am just not ready to do otherwise. Being ready to begin the journey of weight loss in earnest definitely begins with your state of mind. If you are not prepared to do what it takes, your just going to keep failing. Perfect example-me, myself and I. I decided to try to work on my mind over matter. When I was little, my grandmother and I used to play this game where she would tickle the bottom of my feet and I would try not to laugh as long as possible. She would very quietly say to me mind over matter. Through the years, I became very good at holding my giggle for a long time, and if you know me that is a feat of epic proportions, because I love to laugh. So I am going to try to start conditioning myself that when the food is calling my name, I ignore it. I will picture my grandmother telling me mind over matter, and maybe slowly I will be able to resist more and more. Until I am no longer eating because something is eating me, but eating because I am actually hungry. (imagine the concept) Here's to you grandma and mind over matter......
