"You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose."

Baby Step #1

I know… I was ba-ack and then I wasn’t.


I didn’t stick to WW for even the rest of that day. So I deleted the post.


I am really worried about my Dad, but we won’t know until next week if there is even anything to be worried about. I don’t really know what to feel. Worry about what may or may not happen? Optimism? Pessimism? Realism?


Anyway, I am eating my emotions. I know I should deal with my emotions instead, but I am finding it tough. I feel like if I let go I may not be able to get back together again.


So instead of jumping back in the deep end I am going to go back to baby steps. This has worked for me in the past. Succeeding in a ‘baby step’ gives me the feeling that I can do this, that I can succeed in the next steps.


So baby step number 1:


Floor work 3 times a week


I have chosen this as it has no impact on my emotions, gets me back into a routine, and of course benefits my hip which has been really sore the past couple of weeks.


When I feel I am on top of step #1 I will add step #2.

I have read a few of your posts this week, but not been leaving comments.

I really hope everything is okay with your Dad.

Baby steps are a good thing.

Quite often, baby steps are the best! Be kind to yourself Fiona. Have you thought of starting a Grateful Journal? I guarantee you will feel better!!
