Learning to Get Rid of Discouragement

I think the biggest obstacle of getting healthy is discouragement.  Today was a rough day.  I was very emotional.  Nala (my oldest cat) was very demanding for attention and wouldn't let us sleep last night.  Usually she does fairly well but she has her extreme bratty days. I also hurt my right ankle somehow.  I didn't realize it was stiff and stepped on it; I heard a loud popping noise and it has hurt every since.  This is my good ankle, the one that has NEVER been injured whereas my left ankle I sprained numerous times over and over again last year.  My husband informed me today that he lost 9 pounds and this just made even more emotional.  I am VERY proud and happy for him but was discouraged he has lost so much and I have lost nothing.  Chris reminded me of Isaiah 40:31; it helped but I did end up crying (felt better once it was out).  Luckily I work in a Physicians' office so was reminded by my co-workers men and women lose weight differently and women take more time.  I was told that stress also doesn't allow for weight loss.  I must learn to deal with stress better.  My goodness; I feel like I do not know how to take care of myself.  I am changing all of these things and must hold on to it.  I am still quite discouraged I couldn't do cardio due to whatever I did to my ankle.  Chris bought me an ankle brace so I can try to do my work out tomorrow.  I really am looking forward to get measured next week to see if I have lost inches.  I really actually need to stop worrying about it and continue to do what I have been doing.  I am on track.  The weight will eventual come off I am gaining muscle definitely feeling it in my arms, abs and legs.  I believe discouragement and the negative thoughts are why so many people give up on weight loss.  I need to trim the fat from my brain; it's nonsense and it is hurting me.  I hope for a good nights sleep tonight and looking forward to the new day tomorrow.
