<\/a><\/p>\nKim’s Brain<\/strong><\/p>\n Kim’s brain can be a very confusing and scary place. \u00a0When I see unexpected weight gain, my first thought is “How can I get rid of this?” Although I’ve been ‘dieting’ and retraining my body and mind of over a year now, my first thoughts are still unhealthy. \u00a0I have a very addictive personality and have struggled with eating disorders in the past. I often get disappointed in myself that this is the first place my brain goes but I’m starting to realize that maybe that’s just who I am. \u00a0As long as I’m not acting on those thoughts, I’ve still made a healthy decision. \u00a0Those demons may never totally go away but they seem quieter these days. \u00a0So what does Kim’s brain say? \u00a0Missing the gym one time equals gaining two pounds! Do 6 hours of cardio today, go buy water pills, eat less today or skip a meal. None of these are healthy choices!<\/p>\n Logical Brain\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Now, as I’m standing on the scale thinking what might of happened and all these unhealthy thoughts enter my brain, I have to talk myself off the ledge. \u00a0My logical brain knows why this probably happened. \u00a0You can be PERFECT with your calories and see the scale go up a little. \u00a0You never know what’s going on inside your body. \u00a0Maybe it needed something that it usually doesn’t. \u00a0Maybe you drank less water or are retaining water. \u00a0The point is that weight fluxuates according to each person. \u00a0I know, for myself, my weight is consistent if I weigh myself at the same time of day everyday. \u00a0Some people might not experience this. \u00a0Maybe only count official weight loss on a certain day of the week.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
