Journeying Along
Hiking along on the path out of Tubbyville. I had a good week- 3 pounds! (Although I usually think the first two aren't "real", I'm counting these 'cause they'd been parked on my gut for a few weeks).
It is so true that this is not a short term project but a life long journey- when I can't see Tubbyville in my rear view mirror it does not mean that I pull my Weight Watchers rules off the fridge and start eating bon bons. I will likely WANT to, though, and there is the crux of the problem: how do you turn this into an every day attitidude and not some transitory plan?
I know for myself, when I'm "on" I'm on- I usually know pretty quickly into a week weather I've managed to get my head in the right place or not. Right now, I'm on. Hiking, hiking, hiking...

what do you mean, they aren't real?! Every one of those suckers is WAY TOO real for me! I know what you mean and usually the first few come off easily (or at least quickly) but I still count them -- the feeling of success is a driving force (even if it's not showing on my hips - the scale is good enough at first!)
It really helps me to get in the frame of mind that I am not dieting, but rather being fit and healthy -- being good to the goddess inside me!

Great job! 3 pounds is 3 pounds. The life style thing is tough. I find if I quit getting on the scales I can convince myself that I'm ok,,,, WRONG. It encourages me when I'm going down and motivates me when I'm going up.
Dale your funny,, "goddess inside me". Keep that thought!
