My weight this morning was 230, a loss of another 2.6 pounds in one day this round, a total loss of 10.2 pounds in 5 days. Need to lose 15 more pounds to meet my 10/22 goal, or an average of 0.75 pounds per day...
It's kind of weird, there is this little part of me - the little devil that sits on your shoulder - that is resisting getting below 230. I haven't been below 230 for years. Many people have a fear of failure, but I think I have always had what is known as a fear of success. Not sure why, but it seems I tend to repeatedly sabotage myself in a lot of areas of my life when I get close to reaching my goals or dreams. Maybe it's to avoid the attention of others, or to avoid placing new expectations on myself that I would feel compelled to live up to. I know I have used my weight in particular as an excuse for not doing all sorts of things for a long time now. Doing this protocol kind of makes you face those things, which is hard - but a good thing.
So, I know today is going to be a challenge - because if I stick to it, I will break through this new 230 barrier that I for some reason have been resisting. I wonder what I'll be like when I don't have all this fat to hide behind???
Hi Jeff,
ReplyDeletereading your experiences is so inspiring to me. I completely understand about the fear of success too.. You will get through that fear and emerge a new person-look how far you have come already!
Hang in there! :)

Jeff! I am approaching this very subject on my blog today. Well, probably over the next few days. It's important to explore because I feel that there are many of us that need to dive into it and see why we do the things we do.
ReplyDeleteI hope you made it into the 220's today!
It's very effortless to find out any matter on net as compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this web page.
