I am the turtle...not the hare!

Feb 17, 2011

I guess I shouldn't be supprized that my totem animal is a turtle...sea turtle...but a turtle none the less.  Put a sea turtle in the right environment and they are fast and agile.  Put them on land and they are pretty darn slow.  So goes my weight loss.  I just need to remember that this isn't a race and no real finish line.

I read about people who get out of the game when they get to their goal.  Many gain a lot of weight back.  I am really fearful of that.  This isn't easy, being accountable for what used to be automatic.  Mindless eating is my downfall...

So in this month of love letters...

Dear Body,

Wow, we have been through a lot the past year.  I have had you cut and modified.  I have asked you to do more with less.  I want you to know that you have been a trooper.  I think we like where we are headed.  I love you more each day of this journey.

Please stick with me.  We will be so much happier and healthier if we can keep this going.  I don't want the "Honeymoon" to end and not be closer to our goal.  So help me help you!

Love,

Sandy's brain
