View permanent weight loss as a process, not an event. 

Most great achievements are the result of hard work and a designated plan of action. As they are often time consuming, progress is made in small, purposeful steps.  

The same is true concerning permanent weight loss. It's not just going to happen. Through a process you create and execute, you are infinitely more likely to succeed in all your endeavors.  Save the "events" for birthdays and celebrations, and view permanent weight loss as a process of making a plan, and then, each day, doing the next right thing. 

Action for the day: Today, simply do the next right thing. Whenever you have a decision to make, whether it's what to eat or what to do after work, do the next right thing.

I like to give myself small goals - so I have lot's to celebrate.  It is like getting a lot of little presents - which I tend to prefer!

Permanent is a good way to view this, I need to be less near sighted!

Thanks Molly - you are truly more positive then me!!!  What is that silly song from the Christmas Claymation Movie, "One step in front of the other, and you'll be walking out the door..."  One step at a time!
