Lets all agree that any, all and every purchase of exercise equpiment, work out DVD, gym membership or new diet program are emotional buys. Whether we are depressed and feeling like we have to do something to save our skin or we are excited about that possibilities that come with these purchases it is always an emotional buy. After the excitement of ordering the 21 Day fix started to wear off, I tried to do some math to keep me motivated to figure out just how much weight I could lose. The program claims up to 15 lbs loss in 21 days. I will stick to my conservative goal of 2 lbs a week. As I said in my last post we've put our selves on a wait list with our Timeshare for a November trip to Disneyland. So I added that date to my math to see what I could lose by then. That time frame would give me 6 full rounds of the 21 day fix. Very quickly I heard my thoughts as if I was speaking out loud. you can't lose too much weight, all your Disney clothing, shorts, capris, won't fit and yo udon't have money to buy news ones. I thought well crap what will I wear if I need to buy new shorts in the middle of winter. The next thought I had was one of disbelief. I just caught myself talking myself out of losing weight because of clothing I have that are size 2XL. I was talking myself out of health for a Mickey Mouse shirt and shorts!! WTHeck is wrong with my brain??
I stopped myself because it wasn't just a fleeting thought, it was taking hold of me and made me honestly consider waiting to lose weight. About a half hour later while eating some candy I had another loud thought: I can't diet because I want to be able to eat yummy Disneyland food with out being sick on vacation. If I've only been eating healthy food and then want a Churro, it'll make me sick. I kid you knot these were legitimate concerning thoughts that both times had me second guessing this whole thing. Thank goodness I am very aware of my self sabotage right now.
