Hanging in There

On my second go around I am OP 8 days. Ok that is a respectable start. I also did the Slim in Six "Start it Up" video today. I would really like to head to Wisconsin in 29 days weighing less than 180#. In order to do that I feel that I have to exercise at least 4 days a week. That is in addition to the walking that I do. Do I have that commitment in me?? Yes..and I think I have to work on a "work out" schedule. And also to follow it.

I have been thinking about something. The highest weight I have ever seen on a scale I have been standing on is 223#. What a horrendous number, but I do have to say I have only seen that once and the closest I have ever come to that again is 213#. Which makes me wonder...what is the motivator to "go so far and no farther?". AND can I set that "so far and no farther" point at 155# rather than 213# or whatever. I have read so many accounts on the WW boards where people talk about losing weight and then gaining that and then some back. I do have to say I have never reached my highest again. I have gotten close to it but have managed not to go way off the deep end. I've read postings on the WW message boards from people that weigh 250, 300, 350, 400, even 500#. How can someone get to that point?? And THANK GOD I never have. What is the "whatever" that makes a person not cross that line?? I would really like to know.

I need to get that determination back....I really want to succeed..I know how...
1. Write down every bite that goes into my mouth.
2. Keep a positive attitude
3. Exercise
4. Be strong
5. Don't give up
6. Realize the big picture
7. Keep the faith
8. Want it bad enough to do whatever it takes!!

Stay determined....stay focused.....succeed

According to MaryGrace...I am a good person and I deserve to be thin, happy, healthy, and rich!!
