Weigh-in day!!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

shyQcodep · 10-06-2006, 02:55 PM

Today was my monthly weigh-in day (I've committed to weighing myself only once per month as part of my abstinence), and I've got some good news. I started at 234 pounds 6 weeks ago, I weighed in at 230.0 pounds on September 6th, and that object of obsession (the scale) said 217.0 pounds this morning. Yahoo!!!!

I can't believe that I lost 13 pounds in a month, but I'll take it. My first thought was that I'm losing too fast and I need to change my food plan, but that changed quickly to thinking that I should keep doing what I'm doing and let my nutritionist tell me what to do. I'm still amazed.

Thanks for the support - I really need it today. Some days are easy, but the last two days I've really been trudging down that road of happy destiny.

Yesterday was my monthly weigh-in day. This month's weight was 206, or down 28 from where I started.

The irony is that I've been feeling like I'm not making progress and I've even experienced not wanting to eat. That's mostly passed and I've kept my abstinence (eating exactly what's on my plan), but my reaction to the latest number was anything but excitement - the people that I've shared it with are much more excited about it than I am.

Oh well. I guess I'm still in that trudging state.

It's great....you are making progress. But my question to you is, what did you expect? Did you have some expectations that you feel that you haven't met at this point that might be leaving you less than satisfied with your progress??

We make plans and target goals for ourselves and set out to do the things it takes to get there, but sometimes even with all our effort it doesn't quite measure up or keep up with what we have panned out....our own expectations of the we feel our success should be....or should have been at.

We need to accept our successes as they come and give ourselves credit for what we/you have accomplished to this point. If there is still work to be done, well, reset your goals and modify your program....maybe make some changes that might give you a little boost on your new start and just keep going.
