Keep doing what your doing....

And you will keep getting what your getting is the definition of insanity. A saying that my husband loves right now. I hear it a lot. Mostly about his work, but also about family. It applies to just about everything. I have heard it so much lately that it has become a little rhyme in my head that I cant get out. So I thought I would put it here. He is not always in the most positive mind frame when he is saying it....but I thought that I could apply to weight loss as well. As I was walking into Starbucks this morning for a pumpkin scone the rhyme was there. Truth is today I ignored the voice. We have a lot of stress going on in our extended family that right now a pumpkin scone became my fixation rather than dealing with the problem at hand. I know, not the proper way to deal with stress....but today that was my choice. I will also make the choice to do an extra hard workout tonight after work. Granted the whole workout will be working off the scone...it will also work off some of the stress that I need to deal with.
You ever wonder what life would be like without stress? Without someone having an opinion about something you are doing wrong. The truth is it doesn't matter what people think. You can take the suggestion or not....but in the long run if it is a negative comment why listen? How does it help you or your health to get so upset that you need to eat or yell or feel bad about who you are. Why allow a person to have that kind of control over you? Easier said than done! I know...I get mad I want sugar...not just a little....a lot. I want cheese.... Truth is I want to fill the hole I am creating because I'm not dealing with the anger and frustration that builds up inside me. In society it is ok to squelch your anger or frustration with food....it is not ok to verbalize. It is not ok to be upset tell someone how you feel. Is it society...or is it genetics...I don't know. What I do know is that for my health I don't want to bottle this in. I don't want to keep quiet and go with the flow. I know that I need to be supportive, I know that I need to be helpful . I can do this and learn to find other ways to express myself. I can protect myself and my own. If you keep doing what your doing...you keep getting what your getting. Why not change?
