It was stressful and not full of sleep.
My adrenal gland is fatigued and what it needs is sleep, little stress and good food. All three of those things were a miss for a few days and it has taken me a few days to get back in the game. The problem is that when a person has adrenal fatigue, when they don't take care of themselves then the problem is exacerbated and the person starts to CRAVE the things that will make the problem worse. It is a crazy process that maybe I'll write about one day. Anyway, we had a good trip.
My weekly goal is to not eat 2nds at dinner time. This is hard, but I know I can do it for one week. One week is all that I'm asking myself - gentle.
Also, I like to pick a bigger goal and see how long of a streak I can go on. this streak is one that I struggle with, but I know if I break the cycle of grazing and eating for emotional reasons, I will be the person I want to be.
You cannot be your best self if you are overweight. You cannot fully love yourself if you are damaging yourself. That is not love; that is abuse. You will be happy with who you are when you are doing what you know you need to do. The trick, is that you need to be gentle and have compassion for yourself in the process. When people are down on me, I don't want to perform for them and if I do, just to prove them wrong, I eventually burn out because it is not possible to be in a negative environment for too long and not let it get to me. When people are supportive and believe in me, I want to show them what I can do. This is the same with ourselves. We can beat ourselves up and tell ourselves how fat we are, but that will only work for awhile - if at all. If we show compassion then we start to love ourselves. We start to want to help ourselves with healthy exercise and food. It makes us feel even better and it is a chain reaction. Don't believe me? Try it. Try it for a week to change your mind set from negative to accepting and feel the change begin.
