After a month of dieting, my scales have stopped praising my efforts each and every morning. For over a week stuck around 80.5kg. My mind has been sowing seeds of doubt - maybe all this effort to change to a low carb diet isn't worth it. Maybe it's too restrictive. Maybe I should allow myself more fruit. Surely a small serve of rice would be OK. Wouldn't a slice of buttered toast be nice? 😅
Bugger off sabotaging thoughts!!!
I know the diet is working. So to reinforce my sense of progress, I am trying;
- Not weighing myself every day. Once a week will do.
- Making a little more effort to weigh and log my food, rather than estimating
- Acknowledging other positives, such as a smaller waist measurement, looser clothing
- Packing a backpack with weighty items equivalent to the weight I've lost so far. Anytime I doubt my progress I can take that backpack for a walk up the hill and get real immediate sense of my longterm progress.
I know the scales will shift again at some point. Until they do, my challenge is to keep going, to make sure I'm building new good habits and to remember this is a long term journey.
