Weekly Check-in
Well, this past week has been a roller coaster...as usual. The scale has been bouncing around a lot (I cannot keep myself from weighing daily, I think it helps keep me accountable), but I ended up with a 1.2 pound loss for the week--not too bad. I stayed on track, and exercised 3 times. But, I think my most important achievement this week has been identifying some of my inner issues. I started writing a follow up post to the one about my superiority complex, but was sidetracked by family needs--I'll try and expound on that this week. What I've identified is I have a superiority complex, which is really just an inferiority complex. I think this stems from my perfectionism. For example, I always have this feeling of, "I could have done better than that" or feeling like I didn't quite nail something exactly, I don't fit in, I was not the smartest or the fastest or the absolute winner. And, even when I am the winner, I still have self talk that negates my achievement by indicating the competition was weak or the bar was set low, so it was an easy win. My therapist will get an ear full this week, I'm sure!

Welcome to the challenge, I'm new too! I also have a problem with negative self talk that I'm trying to improve. Hopefully writing about these issues and bringing them out in the open will help! Congratulations on the loss and good luck with this week's goals. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow, reading through the last couple posts you've done some amazing work. You've done some excellent introspection and exploration of what's going on inside. That's not easy - good for you.
ReplyDeleteI weigh myself daily, too. I know it is a roller coaster ... it can vary by a couple pounds from one day to the next ... but it helps keep me on track. I wouldn't do it if it set me off emotionally, but I'm not so emotionally involved in the day-to-day number. I watch the trend. I write about it here: http://anotherfitnessblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/todays-daily-weigh-in-what-daily.html
I think it is a-OK weigh daily, as long as you don't see the number one or two days and get freaked out.
Anyway, congrats on your loss, and keep up the good physical and mental work!
