Hang in there, the goal is not to be perfect, but close to perfect. The less time you spend hung up on bad decisions you may have made, the quicker you move on to better ones.

Hi...

Isn't is something how we can let some poor choices dictate so much sometimes? I've spent countless hours beating myself up over having a brownie instead of fruit. Which led to thinking that eating healthy wasn't something I could do, so why bother? And that's how I ended up being so miserable at my highest weight.

As I journey toward sleeve surgery, I'm working hard on not beating myself up when I fall. I decide that the next diet choice or exercise moment will be a healthy one. Then I follow through. And my husband keeps me accountable. Knowing he will ask how I worked off that brownie keeps me honest.

Keep making healthy decisions, forgive yourself when you slip, and don't look back. Keep moving toward the goals you've set for yourself.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement. I think I know the source of my emotions, a court date tomorrow (now today) regarding the legal status of the person who struck my husband with her car last year causing his disabilities. This has been causing a lot of stress for weeks but this week as it's gotten closer we've been quite anxious. Really, I don't even really want the foods, I haven't been having cravings since starting the protein-focused diet. It's more of a mix of self-soothing and self-sabotage which is a weird combo to explain. I missed my appt with my therapist due to my knee issues and I won't get to see her until August 10 unless I can find an appt next Mon or Tues because we're going out of town Weds. I hope I can see her! And also if we get a good result tomorrow I will hopefully be feeling less stress. If a bad result I'll definitely have to find a way to see my therapist! Anyway, sorry for rambling, took a percocet for the knee pain LOL and it makes me emotional and even more talkative than usual. @pfisher you really nailed the mindset I am trying to practice as well. I loved your comment, you worded it perfectly. Thank you so much for taking time to comment. I appreciate all of you!
