It's always interesting how the reaction to a weight gain at weigh-in can change, all depending on your mood and your mindset. Personally, I usually don't have much of a problem adopting the positive, constructive "okay, so what do I do this coming week differently?" attitude, at least while I'm standing there in the little closet my local WW center uses for weigh-ins.
Out in the world, on the other hand? I doubt there's a single person dealing with weight loss, even the most successful of Lifetime Members, who haven't looked at that + number in their book and thought, "well, so much for that for today" or "for this week" or whatever. Truth be told, maintaining that objective, goal-focused mindset over an entire week and then some is and has been a challenge.
I was prepared for a gain this week, since, I'll confess, I've not been strict with myself as far as tracking goes. For me, like I'm sure it is for many people on this road, the determination and enthusiasm only lasts for so long before the complacency settles in (and I do mean "settles"). Finding that consistent, constant motivation is a quest still in the undertaking.

We could keep each other motivated...? I'm sure there's a better way for both of us to do that and keep tracking.
ReplyDeleteFor that matter... have you tracked today? ;)
I hope so.
