Day 78 – Self-sabotage

Day 2From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 78

You may need to ask yourself some hard questions about what’s keeping you from being successful.

Overcoming self-sabotage requires building a trust that you will be strong and safe at any weight.

Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.

1. Identify places in life where you might be sabotaging yourself.

Sometimes I buy cookies or ice cream thinking I will save them for a special occasion. But if they are in the house, I go ahead and eat them!
Also, I skip exercise because my husband isn’t exercising. Then I blame him!

2. Make a list of things you are fearful of or that might not be good when you reach your goal weight.

I don’t have a lot of trouble with this, but I do have some anticipation of the hard work of staying at my goal weight.
I’m afraid I might let up too much and eat a lot more.

3. Plan ways to manage each of the things on your list.

Hold my vision of being a strong, vibrant woman at a healthy weight.
Ask my husband if we could go back to an exercise plan from a couple years ago where we provided accountability for each other. (He said yes, and that it would help him a lot too.)
