You are most welcome SKY.
I wish I could put it simply what is bothering me. The really good motivation is that today was my
weekly weigh in- and I have dropped
25.6 pounds since 8/20. My clothes are looser- and I actually went out and bought a "celebration" outfit. It is a girl thing.
You went out and bought yourself an outfit! GO~~~~~~~~~~GIRL!
SKY's Celebration Outfit:
Sky felt the
ANIMATION of
CELEBRATION by buying herself an outfit in response to this
SENSATION CREATION, this has set the
FOUNDATION VIBRATION for personal
COMPENSATION and ended
FRUSTRATION and brought much
CONCENTRATION!
CONGRATS! I truelly mean that from the bottom of my heart.....CONGRATS!
Like I mentioned in previous posts, I think one out to weigh themselves in the am, with the same cloths on, and at the same time. I do not advocate weighing during the day (for most persons) because the body WILL flex in weight (and this is NORMAL).
Concentrate on this feeling on buying this new outfit.
Concentrate on how you are feeling when the cloths you have now are feeling less tight---
and let this feeling spin off inspiration for you:
Of all the bad feelings along ones path that we encounter as we work toward our goals, the feeling that we encounter once we meet are goals are 30 times more powerful than all the bad feelings COMBINED in our path to get there.
And, you just had a mighty taste of it. Just IMAGINE the end of the road.
But physically I feel I am struggling to keep the metabolism going. Then the pulled muscle is making exercising difficult. I almost heal it- then I feel it pull again. To keep going I tell myself that this is to improve my life- healthier in emotional self esteem, and to support my body in every way that I can to have a long life in wellness.
I dont quite understand "I am struggling to keep my metabolism going" statement. What do you mean by this?
How did you pull your muscle? When? And, how long has it been?
===============================================================
I dont know your "personal situation", but I think you are missing a grand opportunity:
This forum has a unique set of members all set in a respected integrity configuration. You want personal support then try one of the following:
1. I can talk with you on yahoo--one on one
2. You can ask to talk to another--on yahoo (or other IM) one on one
3. You post more often to this thread--or make a Journal at the appropriate section of the forum: To input your feelings, training, and diet. YOU WILL GET FEED BACK.......and it will be one YOU NEED. I will be one of your strongest supporters---I GUARANTEE IT!
4. A body needs rest and nutrition when its injured--this isnt a reason to be upset with yourself. YOU GOT INJURED FOR---------TRYING!
It is far better to be injured in trying then injured WORSE for lack of it!
You can work around this.....dependent on the injury....and STILL stay on track.
When I see a weight gain- or I let myself visualize that I will never be 'thin' no matter what I do- then I fall back on self pity. My spouse is not supportive in this- so my letter of encouragement request was so that someone who understands where I am coming from and where I hope to be when this journey is over can help me refocus.
Thanks- I guess just talking about this is half the battle.

You are conversing with one that knows the trials and tribulations, conflicts and set backs, that can occur as we work toward a goal. I have been there and I understand you. I understand the feeling of non-support from family--I had that too---once---I flat fixed it.
Never lower head nor believe your beneath anyone on this earth. None who criticize you are without fault of their own:
A spouse is their to support the other--bottom line in my opinion. If you are not getting this. Then and I say this "Politely" you have to bring in the "want" and a personal back bone, and draw the line with the spouse:
What you expect, what your will tolerate, and what you will not--and bring forth the bottom line. If the feedback isnt what you expect, then you have to feed the opposing force with what you REQUIRE as respect, and keep feeding, and eventually if the core of the spouse is good (nothing bad intended here) the spouse will turn around. One has to be strong when there is an opposing force, and have consciously aided intellect to be self aware that if this opposing force is too strong---to seek assistance ELSEWHERE to solve the internal problem and to work on solving the external bad problem (spouse).
You can get fed HERE at the form to give the spouse the food he needs and give food to yourself at the same time.
I am on your side, and as you can see other forum members are too.
I want you to ROCK........and NEVER EVER give up.......their is no hope at all when this happens--but always hope when one tries......and gets up after each fall.

Sky you are the INNER SOURCE that needs to be STRONG to deal with anything on the outside that is MALFUNCTIONING.........against your goal:

My hand is always open to you.........you come back, and let me and the others help you as much as we can...........
and,
uh.
ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best wishes,
