The Power of Focus

Jul 05, 2010

I have been away from OH for over 6 months.  I have been extremely busy at work and have traveled quite a bit the past few months.  I have had easy access to all types of gourmet foods and desserts at almost every meal and I have slacked a little in my exercise.  All in all, I am now up 10lbs from my ideal maintenance range. 

OK, now that I have that off my chest, it is time to refocus.  I recently went back to my doc for a tiny fill, which has helped more than I thought it would.  I knew that I was ravenous and that food just didn't stick with me, but I blamed it on all of the poor food choices that I was making vs. doing a truthful comparison of my restriction from the past.  I have always maintained my band on the loose side because I have been terrified of complications, so it took a lot for me to even think about getting a small tweak.

I feel like I now have regained a bit of my willpower and am refocused on my diet and exercise, already losing a good 2-3 lbs.  It's amazing the power of focus for achieving a goal.
