Sometimes when on a weight loss journey it feels like Day 1 is a far too frequent event. The day starts full of optimism, excitement and a yearning for this time to be different. So how can it be different from all the other days that started with the tag of Day 1? How can we learn from our past selves so that we can craft the present and future selves that we deserve?
I think Albert Einstein hit the nail on the head with this one. It's important to look at past weight loss endeavours not as failures but as very rich learning opportunities. If we constantly repeat our past actions that have proven unsuccessful then how can we expect a different and more fruitful result!
So Day 1 needs to involve a lot of soul searching. What has been done in the past that has worked and that can be brought on this leg of the journey? Also, what type of behaviour and actions need to be worked hard on so that they are not replicated this time?
When I came back to this Blog I noticed a past post where I was in a very different place and had lost a lot of my weight. I was instantly tempted to delete that blog post so that I was not reminded of my failure to maintain my weight loss. However, I thought again about what I could possibly take from that past experience that could help me now.
Never a failure , but a lesson!
Weigh in complete for week 1 and for the time being I will keep weigh in day for Monday. I will update here every week with my weekly result.
