Controlling My Perspective!

I’m a little discouraged this week.  I’m only down .9 and was hoping for more.  Now is when I have to remember all my words of encouragement I’ve given to others and follow my own advice…practice what I preach.  Rather than allowing myself to be disappointed, I need to focus on the fact that I have managed to lose weight in South Korea!

So, I need to focus on my “Bravo” moments:
  • I cut down on portion size (and was slightly amused that everyone around me noticed…I got many comments about my small portion of rice).
  • I reduced my not-so-healthy snacks.
  • Earned 29 activity points.
  • Worked out at the gym 4 times.


If I keep this up, the .9 will be 7 pounds in no time! Again…all words of wisdom and encouragement are greatly appreciated!  : )

Just a pound!
How can that be!!
I worked so hard
This can’t happen to me!!

Just a pound!
It could be worse.
It’s just a setback,
Not a curse.

One whole pound!
This is great!
Again and again

To get to goal weight!

Congratulations on .9. I think that is also the bravo. You are now moving into a space where you are re-learning to find the balance between enjoying your food and indulging in new foods. One lesson I learned through this process is that there are very rare times when "that food" will never appear again. If the foods you now love or indulge on are common foods in South Korea, you then should also know that they will appear again soon.
Again- all of this is easier said than done. But good for you for making small changes to that you know will ultimately help you make big changes. Also remember... Is it worth it?
