Weigh in Part Deux

I'm back from my weigh in and I weighed 229.6. I'm okay with it though. At least I didn't go back over to the 230s! So that's a gain of 2 pounds. Well my goal for next week is to lose at least 2.5 pounds!!! It was a great meeting. I'm so glad I went! The leader talked about sustaining motivation which can be difficult especially during the summer time. She also talked about us being our own worse critic. She's so right!! Someone mentioned they've been receiving compliments and they feel really uncomfortable accepting them. The leader asked her if she says "Thank you BUT" which she said she does. I do the same thing too!! I always say thank you but I have a lot more to lose, thank you but I've only lost about 15 pounds or thank you but I've been at this since January and it's slow going for me. I need to stop that but it's so hard. I think everyone has a hard time with that one. I'm slowly starting to not be so hard on myself though. That's another hard one. I believe I'm getting better though. I remember a few months ago if I showed a gain like this at my meeting I would be almost in tears. I would also consider trying to eat vlc or be afraid to eating ANYTHING because I thought of the scale so much. I didn't change my way of eating this week and I didn't freak out after I weighed in. Call me crazy but I think I'm making progress....who woulda thunk it?????

After leaving my meeting I decided to go to the evil place. WALMART!!! I only purchased 20 items and it cost 60 freaking dollars!! I did have to buy some health and beauty type of items that I haven't bought in a while for me and hubby but still. Good grief!!! They did have watermelons on sale (FINALLY) so I bought one. I've already had a piece. SO GOOD!!!! I'm definitely going to have to get all my errands on the weekend done early. My head is still throbbing from the heat. The car that I have to drive right now doesn't have AC and I became so hot out there. I had a bottle of water but I hadn't eaten so by the time I got home I felt so bad. I've already taken a nap for a while but my head still hurts really bad. I'm just going to take it easy for the rest of the evening and consider this a lesson learned. I haven't really had to drive this car in a while so I kinda forgot.

Okay I'll shut up now...
