I Need to Try a New Position
Nothing as kinky as you are imagining!
Positioning is a marketing term, right? -- like: positioning a product in the market place so that it will seem better then it is and people will buy. That's what I need to do to myself with this damn diet. (Oh woops, I forgot, I'm not on a diet, I'm adapting a new habbit (so much for positioning!)). For one thing, I have my log set up to start my weeks on Mondays, which really sucks because I'm at my worst over the weekends, so to do my official weigh-in on Monday morning is self-defeating. I should track myself from Wednesday to Wednesday or something like that. Now I realize it is the overall progress that counts and not just a given day -- so theoretically it shouldn't matter what day I call my offical weigh-in day. That's where the posistioning comes in -- it's all smoke and mirrors, I realize, but if it makes me feel better, and makes me more hopeful, then I think I should go with it. I'm not above psyching myself out.
2 weeks and I'm down 1/2 lb. This is the worst start to a diet (woops - habbit change) I've ever had. Gonna' have to think on this a while. (But maybe I should think about it while I'm jogging or something!)

Why are you spelling habit like hobbit? (habbit) Are you some how channeling Frodo and the gang eating second breakfast and such? Or maybe it is a Freudian moment meaning rabbit and you feel you must eat like one! :-) I just couldn't resist.
Change comes slowly. Do you official weigh-in Friday to Friday. That is what I do, it helps motivate me through the weekend. Scales get very tempermental on Monday...
Are you getting enough exercise? What happened to those really cool salads you were making?

I'm just a real poor speller and unlike my "real" blog, I don't do this one in word first to have it spell checked. I'm sure there is a 12 step program for me.
I am starting to hate my scale EVERY day!
