Weighty Matters ~Week 2

You win some you lose some. It was a battle this past week and I lost. Not pounds, but the battle. I [won] some hard earned lost pounds back. So, okay crisis over. Back at it again this week. It is a new week and a new beginning. I had a new realization today at the meeting. We had to get in small groups and in my group was a nice older lady who said she was a life time member. I thought, wow, why are you still coming? Then it hit me. Because she needs to come to the meeting to stay with the program. That's what sunk home. I will need to attend for the rest of my life to "stay with the program." I certainly didn't get this way over night and I have been over weight for years. So, I'm guessing It will take a looooooong time to come off and then I will need to work at keeping it off for the rest of my life. Similar to an alcoholic. Yikes! I really plan to make it to goal this time. I've never done that before - either make it to goal or even plan to make it to goal. Huh, maybe that's been a problem. If you don't set a goal how can you achieve the goal? Or, if I have set a goal before it's been only 30 lbs or something that isn't even close to what I really need to lose because I have really been telling myself that I could never actually lose 80 lbs. So, that was a really BIG enlightenment.
