Another Monday

Yup, here I am. Wow, this weight thing is really hard. I remember seeing a photo of an acquaintance who was so thin long ago and I was thinking, what happened? How did this happen to her? Now I am her. How did this happen to me? It really does sneak up on me. No excuse though, there's a direct relationship between the food I put in my mouth and the numbers on the scale. Seriously!

Here I go again...

So I wound up losing over 40 pounds. The first 5 were the hardest. Then I gained back about 5. Now I need to lose another 20 and I'll be in the perfect range. Just need to get motivated....

If I would stop eating...

It Starts, Almost

How Many Mondays?

Yes, I know this is not Monday! But since I’ve started so many diets on Mondays that I knew this was the destination title of our blog!

Dieting (or not) does funny things to your sense of time. How easy is it to decide to start a new diet on Monday when it’s only Wednesday? There’s lots of time to prepare for the diet by stocking up on ‘good’ food, lots of fresh vegetable from the farmer’s market, lean meats from the butcher, haul out all the dusty low fat diet cookbooks. Then of course there are the  trips to the local ice cream shop for the ‘last’ cone, a pizza pie, the talking heavenly chocolate cake from the table at Stop and Shop.

Then once the diet gets rolling you’re not only hungry, but bored too; it feels like you’ve gone without pizza and ice-cream for years when it’s only Friday. Yikes, even the minutes of the day seem to drag between meals, as you dream of that delicious carrot in the fridge for your snack.

I am a women who has probably tried at least 25 different diets/food plans/ways of life etc. For sure accountability is one of the most successful methods of encouragement when it comes to maintaining a program for weight loss. I’m  hoping you will join me on this journey to wherever it leads…. Preferably we’ll lose some weight in the process.
