I Hate This Journey of Weight Loss

An integral part of the Healthy Weights program is artfully acknowledging and approaching your feelings.

Read Sharon's most recent approach to her feelings and weight loss.

Sharon:

It all boils down to hate. 

• I hate this journey of weight loss. 
• I hate thinking about it, constantly monitoring it, always trying to be on top of it. 
• I hate the physical shape of my body and the unhealthy habits that got me here. 
• I hate that I can't just sit down and eat when I feel poorly or am upset.
• I hate the that fact that size 0 clothing exists in this world.

But love is a strong emotion too. 

• I love how I feel after walking 3km each morning. 
• I really love how I feel when I push for that elusive 5k!
• I love corn, warm from the sun, picked fresh ready for eating.
• I love how I feel when I finish the large carton of fresh spinach before even a single leaf turns brown. 
• I love making my kids each veggies because they are good for them. 
• And the best love of all - putting on pants and having them be looser than the last time I wore them.

 Goal this week: more love, less hate.
