Now, with the improvement of my situation comes a renewed effort to get back on track with the weightloss and healthy lifestyle. These last three weeks have resulted in the removal of 2 pounds from my ample frame. And here are my two options: either give up because the rewards are not coming fast and furious enough or savor my two pound gain (yes, gain....think about it...it just struck me too...gonna hafta explore that later) as the hard fought beginning of something wonderful.
I know which option is better for me, but I have a feeling if I don't acknowledge the former, the latter will be even more difficult to choose.
I get that. I had given up so many times. What ended up working was a method that worked. Prior to that, I remember it taking 5 weeks to lose one pound (mainly by guesswork with exercise and diet). It is so hard to keep up at something when the exertion far outstrips the reward. Too hard, actually. One needs positive reinforcements and short term rewards as well as long term ones.
ReplyDeleteI see so many more options than just those two....
ReplyDeleteTo be sure, Karen, to be sure. I was just having a "Do or not do, there is no try" Jedi knight moment. :)
