It's time to "get married..."
Feb 20, 2010
Alright... not to confuse anyone.... I am married and will be celebrating our 35th anniversary this year. That is not what I'm talking about.I'm speaking of the weight-loss honeymoon being over... and moving on into settling down to weight-loss "Marriage." This is the part of weight-loss they may have lost a bit of the excitement & luster of the honeymoon stage... but the time and effort of long term investment in ones self is worth the commitment.
Just because someone no longer loses 5 lbs in a week regularly- doesn't mean the scale isn't moving in the right direction. It's vacation versus being back home & back to work.
Honeymoon versus Real married life. Marriage is work. If something has value- we are willing to work for it.
We put up with the minor annoyances- brush them off and look for the good in our relationship. So... instead of focusing on what is wrong with us and the scale- it becomes time to look at what we have already invested in our weight-loss efforts. We can realize what we have accomplished is of great value and is worth the effort to continue applying the same principles to our daily life. In time the scale will move and we will get closer to our goal weight. No reason to be discouraged for long... FOCUS....
the goal is in sight!
I did it. It worked.... this week I focused much more and the result is I have lost 3lbs!
I may not make my Feb 23rd goal. However, I know I will reach my goal at the latest by my 1 year anniversary. So I am very very happy!
