Back Here..and A Realization...

Postby MARIE » October 18th, 2006, 1:02 pm

Hi all-

My name is Marie and I joined June 27/06--about 3 1/2 months ago. I lost 20 lbs. and then middle of August went on family vacation and started not being compliant all the time--

This led to the beginning of school for the kids and all the busyness of life, their activites; and I just fell off the wagon.

I am BACK on and on day 3--I didn't weigh myself to begin with because I am too ashamed to admit that I probably have gained it all back.

What I realize anew, (as I am sure many of you have), is how important this forum is. I stopped posting after vacation because I wasn't in a good MF place, but should have gotten right back on--

I am motivated to do this for myself. I usually do it too much for other reasons--other people, big events, wanting to be a certain size. The focus can easily go to those things and not to the slow and steady pace wins the race.

Here's hoping- ;)
MARIE

Welcome back, and congratulations for having the courage to start again. I think you have a good outlook by focusing on yourself and sticking to the program instead of aiming to get to a certain weight by a certain time. I know a lot of people set goals like that, and maybe it helps them. But I feel like my body is going to do what it wants to do and it its own time. Just because I may -want- to weight 155 by Halloween, doesn't mean it's going to come true, even if I'm totally compliant. Just concentrate on staying on plan and the weight will take care of itself.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! :heart:

Your support has made the first week and 2 days back much better. I am rooting for all of you, too. I saw a MF commercial the other night and thought, "the forum needs to go on a commercial!!!!!".

One day at a time-

Marie :grin:
