I just started reading your blog but definitely think you can do it!

Thanks Kathy! I'm still around and doing good, just been busy, hopefully will get a post out by Monday!

Hey Fat Blogger. We miss you. And we care.

I can't even tell you how many times I've 'restarted' my weight loss journey/struggle. I get too caught up in the details and stress out way too much. It doesn't help that I have 100+ pounds to lose and because I'm doing it the 'healthy' way it seems to take forever and I see people around me and on TV dropping pounds like crazy. Each time I've started over though I've had more success than the previous time. Keep with it!

Of course you can do it. Didn't "Changing for Good" mention something to the effect that every failure increases our chances for success the next time around?

I'm going to take a slightly different tack - one meal at a time doesn't work for me as it gets me bogged down in the details. Strangely enough, one set at a time works for me in the gym... I also find that for me, the exercise drives everything. So if I work hard in the gym, I am less inclined to eat anything but quality food. I look at food from the perspective of "is this quality fuel? will this help me lift the amounts of weight I want to lift?"

I am right there with you. I had been doing the "day off" for one meal a week. Now it has migrated to 6 days a week. Here's to us - getting back on track and committed to take it one day at a time.

I could have written the part about what worked and what didn't myself. Been there. It is so damn frustrating.

I, too, like the "one day, one meal at a time" philosophy and might even adopt it for myself.

Wow Karine, 80 pounds in a year! How did you do it?

Kathy, Margaret, I like the idea of one day at a time, but the reverse of that is what gets me in trouble, one day isn't going to matter!

I absolutely believe you can do this. The truth is that it is one of the hardest endeavours so give yourself a break for struggling with it. We all did. I still think my breakthrough was a miracle because it was such a long time coming. But you know what, once you get it, and I mean mentally, you just get it and are able to get the job done once and for all. Keep doing the inner work, that's what did it for me. One year later I've lost 80 lbs, working on the last 35. Best wishes

One day at a time is good--and I think this time, the stakes are higher. Will that make it worse or better?

I think that maybe it's best to start out "One day at a time." Like the AA way of thinking—just for today I will not overeat. Just for today, I will exercise. And allow the habit to build, rather than thinking it's all or nothing. That's what I'm trying to do.
