MARCH 7, 2011 MARCHING ALONG

March 7, 2011   265    Marching Along on the Journey - Heading for Goal

Bought a new food scale and will get EXACTwith measuring in order to get the pounds to let some of their "friends" go.  LOL  Need to march on down, seriously, at this time and think I am in a space where I am able to handle that.  Was reading a section dealing with loss, in a James Van Praagh entitled "Healing Grief".   It pointed out to me why I have been going slowly with packing up to move.  The book points out how moving is a loss that causes grieving.... that is additional anxiety and stress.  Almost everyone has been after me to move back to be near the kids.  My spouse died 5 years ago and I've been doing the best I can since then.  Adding weight loss to the struggle, I wasn't able to do, until last July.  I wanted it to be better than all the times before when I lost weight, because those other times, I gained it all back- PLUS.  As Dr. Phil says "To get different results we have to do different. "  I am approaching this differently.  Since July I have not measured my food except on occasion.  Now I will make it constant.  Portion control might need improvement in my journey.

Each decision makes a difference and I have to remember that.  One small mistep will lead to a bigger one.  I won't do the "all or nothing" thinking but be aware - -  very aware all day long.

Make each choice count.
