By the skin of my teeth

Thursday, July 12, 2012

Well, the weigh-in wasn't a disaster, but I think I squeaked in by the skin of my teeth. Perhaps if I were to take that as a lesson it could turn out to be a good thing - but as well as I know myself I'm concerned.

However, today is a new day.

First day of a new week before the next weigh-in. Might be a good time to look back on that good week earlier and take some lessons.

Buckle down, get serious. I know the healthy eating is for the long haul, but the weight loss is hopefully short term.

I've done the weight loss before. I maintained for more than a year. And I can track exactly when things started to go downhill.

When I get there this time at least I'll be well armed by knowing what NOT to do.

So, here's to a good week!

    We have all been there. Life itself is nothing but a great big learning experience. The thing is making the decision to "not" make the same wrong choices. You are off to a great start and I have no doubt you will be able to maintain your weight and if you feel the least bit tempted to "fall off the food wagon" you know we will all be here to help you back on.

Keep up the great work. emoticon

    Everthing is a learning experience as long as we LEARN from them. Thanks goodness, you are aware and can see what not to do today. Also remember that we are cyclical and a true weight loss would be measured at the same time each MONTH.
