I see numbers on the scale that once excited me but not this go around. Let's push through though! It is worth it! It sounds like you made good on a hard day. Congrats!

This is just a panic attack. I am not going to die. Just breathe." I have an inner chuckle now thinking about the "not going to die" part, but they ARE frightening at the time.<br /><br />I've experienced that whole, "Oh no, the last time these people saw me was when I had lost weight" nightmare. It really is humiliating. I'm dealing with that on a regular basis now. Not liking it one bit.<br /><br />As I read the close, I wondered if there wasn't at least a little wishful positive proclaiming here--> "But I'm loving it and learning through it." :) Just remember, cognitive dissonance can be a precursor to panic attacks. (Just my helpful little hint.)<br /><br />Deb<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-91501628595184392322014-05-09T08:42:38.072-05:002014-05-09T08:42:38.072-05:00Sean, I think if we could bottle that resolve we p...Sean, I think if we could bottle that resolve we possessed when we successfully lost lots of weight, we would be millionaires. I'm trying to find that mindset again, it's proving to be very difficult. Thanks for continuing to inspire me. <br />Pamdupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-54126565807790709842014-05-09T07:34:50.165-05:002014-05-09T07:34:50.165-05:00Dig down for that strength, Sean!

Funny I get more nervous singing in front of a small crowd of friends and family but I don't get nervous in front of 10,000 people. But you are doing great! I need to get back to journaling my meals again. You do so good in that area. Keep up the great work Sean! We'll get there! ~ JulesJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447243553342673039noreply@blogger.com
