I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time, but I have to be honest and tell ya that shame played a lot into NOT doing it. Just as the title says, I get tired of posts like this, but I also know it has worked in the past and I’m hoping it will help again.
So, what in the heck am I typing about?
It’s time to lose weight!
No, it’s not time for a diet; diets are temporary. It’s time for a life style change.
It seems like I have written this post a thousand times……lost 20 pounds or so…..stopped doing the posts……gained 20 pounds or so…..yeah, it’s depressing.
I can’t lie to ya….I don’t go into this with my head held high or with an optimistic outlook. I’ve done this, pretty much, since I was 13-14 years old. Diet after diet and plan after plan. Trust me in that I know HOW to lose weight. I could probably write a diet book cuz I’ve been on them all and I can tell ya what works and what doesn’t. But in my opinion, there is no book that can tell you how to KEEP the weight off.
The bottom line is I have to change habits. The first habit I will change is by setting a goal. I’M NOT GONNA DO IT. All goals do for me is set a “you can now relax” point. I bust my butt to get to that “goal” and then I’m done…..and the weight all comes back because I fall into the same eating habits I’ve had for 36 years. Except usually more comes back than what I lost because depression sets in and I get in the “ahhh forget it” mode and eat myself silly.
So, there are no goals. There will be weigh ins. Part of what has made this work in the past is the accountability I get through this site. I’m not gonna say this is it and this time I won’t stop. I know myself too well to make promises. I will, though, give it my best.
One thing I’ll keep the same is if you find yourself in a similar situation and would like to come here to share and compare ideas and support, I welcome you.
Thanks for coming along!
Here’s where I start: About the same weight I started at last time….let’s pray this is the last time I have to type the words “last time.”
Hey, on a side note, friend and fellow blogger, Bill Grandi is having surgery on his neck today. I’m sure he would appreciate your prayers for quick healing and recovery.
Thanks!
