Maintenance For Life! Community Group
This group is for people who are looking to maintain their weight loss, and anyone who wants to maintain a healthy weight long term. This group is here to help provide support for people who are looking to transition out of weight loss and continue their life changes in their day to day life.
I come here now again but nothing much going on. So I came today and decided to post. Hopefully others with come and do the same. Are we too busy?
I for one have gained back a few pounds and am working on what am I doing different that caused that weigh gain. Although I am staying at that new higher weight in a consistant manner and that makes me think that I am doing something different. And to be honest the new weight is OK it just that it is higher than the orginal goal I set for myself. Do I need to get comfortable with the higher weight and let go of the orginal number? Something tells me that would be giving up but maybe it would be more like being realistic. Something for me to come to terms with I guess.

There it is. So exercise this morning. Too cold to walk outdoors and I have no excuse...I have numerous exercise tapes and DVDs to workout with at home.
Having two more adult in the house I find myself cooking more and serving foods I don't normally prepare. And of course, eating them.
Am back on track however.
Went on vacation and to visit my daughter. Home - didn't gain and didn't lose.
I was getting off key and not practicing those things that help me stay sane and balances, ie my food and daily activities. I decided to firm up my program (no pun intended) and be more focused on my daily practices. I've make a promise to myself to: read daily meditations, email friends, call program friends, and watch what I eat and yes, overeat and WHY. I also decided to follow a practice a friend of mine is doing in November and that is to post her daily gratitude. The big thing I must remember is that the programs I use are ONE DAY AT A TIME.
I know what I have to do this week before weigh in next Tuesday.
At TOPS this past week I recorded a one pound loss that takes me to below goal.
That can be very good or a psychological rationalization that I can eat "a little bit more than usual."
Not a very good plan.
Also I must remember this is a ONE DAY AT A TIME PROCESS.
Stay well.
