NEED A NEW APPROACH TO BE SUCCESSFUL

9/30/2011                                          CONTINUING ON THE JOURNEY

Decided to start writing down EVERYTHING I eat to keep my calorie count exact.  That hopefully will tell me if I am able to take off excess weight with the amount of activity in my life - which isn't a whole lot.  I intend to do something everyday to improve that.   At the end of the day I will add the exact food I ate today.  What a cross this has been throughout my life.  I still have hope that there is a chance to correct this to have the best life I can.   I am going back to re-read Sean Anderson's blog "The Daily Diary of a Winning Loser" where he wrote daily what his search involved.  He doesn't write daily there anymore but what he DID write still applies.  We'll see how it helps my journey day to day.

March 5, 2011 RENEWED COMMiTMENT

March 5, 2011   267   Renewed Commitment - Only Good Food Choices Today

Am surprised at the numbers on the scale as the past week has been daily high caloried high fat food choices.  Figured out I had too many responsibilities, large decisions to make, and a few other happenings that were anxiety causing for me.  Awareness is the answer to not letting that happen again.  When there is something big happening in my day guess I need to limit other "have to's" to three.  Some expert stated or  I read that  that when a parent/caretaker makes too many stops when out shopping in a day, it is too much for a child.  You see behavior problems.  Guess even though I'm far from my childhood, that applies to me concerning weight loss.

Need to share this with you some excerpts from the book "Days of Healing Days of Joy" - -
There is no such thing as standing still.  We either inch along forward or slip backward.  All that we have gained can be lost forever.  Our lives are not soap operas.  The issues we are dealing with are real, serious and important.  The stakes are high and in some areas of our lives, unrecoverable.  The idea is not that we have to be perfect, BUT EVERY LITTLE SLIP IS AN INVITATION TO A LARGER ONE.  Recovery is so important that EVEN THE INCHES MAY BECOME CRITICAL.


Today my motto will be that every decision throughout the day regarding food choices, is critical.
