I realize this is the same day as my celebration and it is appropriate that they go together. The little sabotage demon is whispering in my ear. As soon as there is some improvement then the panic sets in; is it going to last? how long til I gain it back? that can't be right?
followed by its equally evil opposite; you are doing well, you can afford to cheat, right?
These little monsters work in tandem in the department of self sabotage right by the anxiety lobe of the brain. Mostly I am not consciously aware of them, but there they are sending their evil little messages into my ear. They try to convince me that it is easier to just quit now to get their voices to go away, just get it over with and quit now. They high five each other behind my back. Since I am not usually concentrating on them they must have gotten away with a lot in my past diets.
Not this time. I am onto them and I am conscious of them and that gives me the power ( hahaha mad with power laughing) I know that they are full of it and don't have my best interests at heart and that I don't have to listen. Especially since anthropomorphising them makes me aware of how ridiculous the arguments are. Basically, you might as well fail now and get it over with and save yourself the hassle.
I fart in their general direction!

I hear those same voices from time to time -- eventually it gets easier to tune them out, but I haven't found a way to totally turn them off yet. But they won't win! :) We can do it!
