Incredulous

I had an unbelievable disappointment this morning. I stepped on the scale thinking "I've done so well - I've worked so hard - I can't wait to see the number". I stood, staring down at the LED screen as it pulsed zeros across as it read my weight. Up pops 216.0. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!


That can't be right. I've worked, I've tried, I've hoped. Step back on, it has to be an error.


216.0. The highest my weight has ever been. Tears. Frustration. More tears.


God is definitely working on me this morning. I am going to press in to him, seek him, pray more and I will post again later today. I refuse to let discouragement and disappointment derail my hopes,dreams and vision for being a more healthy weight. After all, God gives me COURAGE and HOPE, the other emotions are not of him.


More later.


Onward!

  1. You can do it! Are you weighing yourself daily? Weekly? Monthly? I know that I tend to obsess over the number on the scale rather than the way I feel and how clothing fits. I try to keep myself to no more than one weighing a week. Just a suggestion. :)

  2. Ann, are you eating enough calories? Incredulously, if you drop too low your body will go into starvation mode. This happened to me last year and I plateaued for 3 weeks when I was really working out and watching my food intake. As soon as I upped my calories to 1250 I did lose some weight. Hang in there!
