    lost focus

    Agh I realised this morning I think I've lost focus. I am a competitive person and I hate losing. I feel like this is someo kind of challenge to be won and I keep losing. I think I've lost sight of the fact that I'm doing this for a baby and more doing this to beat the beast. I need to refocus on the baby part - anyone got any suggestions?

    A friend recently suggested learning to knit booties. For me, it will be part of a calling to a healthy baby to come and stay. Normally, I avoid baby things as much as possible. We have a nursery full of stuff that's never been used.

    I'm learning to knit anyway so this may help. And if it doesnt, I'll use my new skills to make booties for angel babies and donate them to SIDS and Kids.

    Not sure if this is what you had in mind.

    I don't know what to suggest hun, but perhaps something like that has been suggested above.

    I'm just wondering whether it actually matters that you see it as a challenge to be won??

    Maybe it just needs reframing....

    As with any race, you just need to keep trying... maybe you won't win, maybe you will - but as long as you give it your best shot you will know that you've done all you can...

    ....keep trying to tell myself that's the attitude I need to lose weight....!! lol..... was never good at practicing what I preach
