On the path to my revolution I hit a little road block that caused me to fall off the wagon so to speak and get get away from my routine I had set up for myself. All within a 3 to 4 week span my Grandma got sick and then passed away. Since I tend to be an emotional eater I ate some things that had been moved to my eat very sparingly list. My first Weight Watcher meeting back after my grandma's funeral I weighed in and was really mad at myself because I had gained some weight back. I seriously wanted to cry but as fate would have it the meeting that night was all about the way we talk to ourselves and negative self talk. The leader that night asked us if we would talk to any of our friends and family the way we talk to ourselves. I found that very interesting because I really am hard on myself. Well I decided that I could either beat myself up or get back on my wagon and work really hard. I told myself that I was starting fresh day one and I was not going to look back. This last Tuesday when I weighed in I had a really good week.
I learned a valuable lesson that not only had to do with weight loss but life in general. We all make mistakes and I certainly have made more then my fair share but if I really want to change my life around for the better I can't look back. I need to move forward and just try and be the best person I can possibly be. I hope I have learned to be a kinder and less judgemental person. My Grandma was definately a good role model. She was kind and gentle and cared about everyone that she came in contact with. She always did everything she could to make everyone around her happy. I miss her so much but I know that she is okay. I love you Grandma!! Thanks for being such a good teacher.
