November Challenge Check In!

-


Hey there all! Just checking on my November self challenge...so far so good! I haven't had to put any red X's on my calendar just yet but I know with the holiday approaching I might have to....so I'm sticking tight to my plan right now! Also, I weighed in yesterday only 1.2 lbs away from my goal weight I set back in August. I think I am going to keep going for all of November and see where I end up! Trying to remember that the scale is just a tool and not a way to measure my worth, hope you are trying to do that too! XOXOXOXO

Anyone else feel like that sometimes? Then once it is all over and I have worked myself up and lost all sense of control and eaten my feelings away or dissolved into a blubbering mess on the floor- I feel better. Its a constant struggle of feeling like you are hitting the emotional bottom and then bouncing straight back up. There is a sense of catharsis in letting it all out after being wound up and up and up all day only to explode into a mess of emotion and let it all go. I mean it works- but it isnt exactly practical. Having a melt down every so often, especially when you are under a lot of stress, just seems to get in the way. Then there comes the back lash you can get when you then feel weak, like you can not make it or you aren't stro
