This morning I realized that I have been unreasonably hard on myself lately.
I mentioned to my coach the other day that this current weight loss cycle that I am on is a grind. 
While the weight is coming down, it just feels incredibly slow.
In actuality, 11 days in and I am down 11 pounds.
The problem is that I keep staring at where I once was and I am down on myself for having failed, messed up and lost control.
No where in that equation do I give myself credit for getting back on track.
No where along the way do I cut myself any slack for starting over .
No where do I acknowledge that I am in a far better place today than I was 4 years ago and that with a little determination and stick-to-it-ness I can in a relatively short period of time reclaim the glory of my size 32 slim jeans!
That is a grossly unfair, unforgiving and unacceptable way to treat myself.
I certainly would never be that unkind or unaccepting to a client or a friend or family member. Heck, I wouldn't be that hard on any one.
Yet when it comes to the guy in the mirror I get annoyed, frustrated and unduly judgmental.
It's really not very nice of me.
I deserve more credit. kindness and respect from myself.
What was was. 
What will be will be.
Today is about today.
And today I know just how hard I am working at being the best me I can be. 
And that my friend is all I can ask for!
