Crossing Paths

Sunday, November 28, 2010

I had errands to run yesterday morning. Instead of taking an apple with me, I decided to get "food" at the gas station to keep me company on my travels. I pulled up near the door and saw "Beth" coming out with a bag of chips to keep her company. "Beth" had gastric bypass surgery several years ago. She lost all her weight, but unfortunately for me, I never got to see her at her goal weight. I had heard that she had regained her weight, and sadly, I saw that it was true. You would think this "chance" encounter would have swayed me from purchasing the "food" I had thought about, but it didn't. I bought it and I ate it while I was driving. The one thing it did do for me was get me back into tracking my nutrition. I did not wait until tomorrow when I could start out "perfectly". I tracked it all and had a more nutritious day overall than I have had in a very long time. Thanks be to God for the crossing of paths with "Beth". I wish her all the best. There is no easy way to stay at a healthy weight. It requires diligence and honesty no matter the path you choose. Today I will do that by tracking my nutrition and putting some effort into making healthy choices. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your interest and support. Hugs from J

    Thanks for Stopping by my Blog! It's nice to meet another Janet! Congratulations on going back to tracking your nutrition. That has been the key for me. This lifestyle change does get easier over time and we get to meet new friends along the way! :) Janet

    I've known some who had gbp and are thin as reeds and others who gained it back. Seems it's not the surgery that's magical after all. Good for you, getting back on with your day!

    Beth is living proof if the head doesn't think long term, nothing works.. When I got help up in the head things got better, education is the way out of obesity..

    It really is an ongoing battle, isn't it? And I find maintaining much harder than losing because I start to allow myself those little 'extras' that I never would if I was trying to lose.

Good for you ... getting back on track!

    I liked this. I will have to admit I was sitting here this morning looking at my 18 month progress (I actually see none from 12 months) photo and thought, "Gosh, I look OLD!"....so it was nice to come and see your collage. It's all in how you see it, isn't it?
Hope you're having a great day!

Reality Check

Monday, June 28, 2010

My eating has been out of control and my activity level nearly non-existent.
It is like I am trying to prove that I can still get by just doing whatever I want. Reality Check: it is NOT working for me. If I want a healthier, longer life, I have to MAKE IT HAPPEN. I will live today like it really matters because it does. I will Do IT for myself.

    Been there done that I think at one time or another we all get to that point .I'm mad at myself for putting the weight back on but I'm not going to beat myself up over it I'm going to get the weight back off and start from that point I didn't even change my weight tracker this last time and I won't because I'm determined to get back down to what is on my tracker and keep going down. I have taken control and maintained for the last 3 weeks and I will start losing again. It's a struggle. It's a battle. It's hard work .But ask yourself this one question and be absolutely honest with yourself.(Am I worth it)????I know I am and I'm sure you feel the same .So get that body moving wiggle, giggle, shake, rock and roll..... whatever it takes.You can do it but you have to be the one that does it for yourself . emoticon emoticon emoticon

    emoticon We've all been there - done that. The only thing that works for me is deciding that "this day" is the only one that matters, and the only one I'm going to worry about ... and "this day" I'm going to do it right. Somehow that helps; if I think any bigger than that it just seems overwhelming. You can do this!!!

    I have felt myself there, too, in the past months. I think there is more to it than just thinking I can get by with less effort. Sometimes I think it is just re-adjusting to the thinner version of me, re-evaluating where I am and where I want to be. Give my friend Janet a big hug today and tell her she is going to be just fine. And then go enjoy your day! emoticon

    It's amazing how much it helps us to use the Nutrition Tracker - and be honest with it - trying to manage without it has pushed me to where I don't want to go!

So let's do this thing together!
I am also kicking it up a notch on the fitness program too - ouch!

Hugs

  ditto to everything that you said, and in particular, the part about thinking that you can still do just what you want... my physical appearance and lack of energy are telling me something different!

    "I will live today like it really matters because it does." Very profound! I love that.

Congrats for achieving the right mind set to stay on track! For me that is the most important element. When I'm thinking right, nothing can get me off track. When I'm not thinking right, nothing can keep me on track.

Make it happen. You can do it!! -Marsha

    AMEN! I feel your pain. WHat a struggle this is! If I really wanted it, wouldn't I stick with it. Why not? I feel good about myself as I am. I look good at my current weight and I had a good medical report. I just want to be skinnier but I must not be that dissatisfied with myself. WE can do this but we have to make up our mind and change. Until that happens, it won't happen.
