Me no likey
I'm trying to not be upset and disappointed in myself right now. I want to pressure myself to work out even more, to be vegan full time not just until 5pm, to just be negative to myself. That is not what I want. I don't want to be plummet into the all-too familiar depression of feel in unworthy, fat, and undeserving of any goal(s) I aim for.
It's okay. One pound in two weeks is not bad. Honestly, it may be that I'm building muscle now that I am toning up. I just realized I haven't done my monthly muscle and body fat numbers in quite some time. I want to believe what's more probable: I gained muscle. I look and feel better than I have in over two months. Even my face is clearing up.
It's just time to say my mantra:
I accept myself unconditionally... right now.
I say it slowly and I feel better. I saw this nutrition and weight vid that recommended I say it for 5 (or 30?) minutes while looking at a picture of myself where I look healthy and incredibly happy, so I can slowly become that person all the time.
I accept myself unconditionally. I love myself. I have compassion for myself. I know that I am on the right path. There is beauty in me and around me all the time.

.5 pound increase can be several things other then weight gain. The most common culprit is water weight, muscle weight (the good kind when working out and building muscle mass). It can also be a temporary increase that has no explanation and is here today and gone tomorrow or shortly thereafter. It can be the time of day you weighed, if it was at a different time, or if you moved your scale in a different location. The last one is not a common one, but it does happen! If you have been sticking to your diet then it is one of those annoying increases that has no rhyme or reason. An increase that seems to show up to add character or something like that - lol - we have all had those and it will go away as quickly and mysteriously as it made its unwelcome "appearance". Hang in there. I promise you if you do you will reach your goal. It is fun to wake up every day and look forward to getting dressed. To put on a cute outfit not camouflage dress. To have clothes that fit, not clothes that if you are like me are a size too small because you just cannot bear admitting to yourself that you really wear THAT size. Or refusing to look in a mirror as you pass by for fear of what you see or for fear you will see yourself as you really look. We have all been there. But what I tell or ask myself when I feel hopeless and on the knife's edge of straying from my weight loss plan is the next three months are going to pass whether I remain on my weight loss plan or not. How will it make me feel if at the end of three months I weigh the same or more because I did not stick with it. Or at the end of three months I weigh less because I stuck with it? Because either way the time allocated for my weight loss is not going to stop. And it really is a bummer when that time comes to think, IF ONLY I WOULD HAVE.....UGH!
