Good morning STACers.
What do you have to do to be here in a week? In a month? In a year?
Do it. Since we all want to loose weight NOW, we all consider and often restort to extreme thinking and watching the scales and exercise...
Be careful, be careful to do the right things that create lifestyle....
I am extreme, I'm the one who would dream up running a marathon to trim off a few pounds to day, and I am the one who use to get up in the morning after such endeavors and look to the scales to confirm it worked....but as Heidi is realizing, sometimes alot of exercise causes our muscles to hold water to heal, so there is a temporary wt. gain....not uncommon....had it been me, I'd have flipped out and potentially could have just walked away from the diet.
(I am not suggesting Heidi took her kid skiing to provoke a ton of weightloss, but it's SOMETHING I WOULD DO)...
We plot and plan things to provoke as much weight off as possible, but I would like to suggest you plot and PLAN, so you always have a plan.
Use some of the energy to check out the pantry and make sure everything you need is there....Plan for exercise in the winter as well as warmer months.
I just use to expect everything NOW, and it caused me to walk away more than one time, when I didn't get it.
So this time around, I got off the scales, started living for the long term, and have focused on keeping the change, in my pocket!!! so to speak.
These are the toughest times of the year....Plot and plan for the christmas parties, getting snacks organized, and a cool water bottle going. I use to eat in the car if need be to arrive full and satisfied. I stood far away from the food tables....I drank alot of water, and focused on other things.
I made sure bad goodies that came into my house, left my house..I even handled my husband a cake that had been left behind and asked him to HIDE it...I've called ahead to resturants....
More than weight loss my challenge is weight maintainence and I've found this far more difficult on a daily basis than induction or OWL...keeping the change is boring, but soooo worth it. But keep in mind, to keep the change, you have to have changed your behavior and created skills to support what you've got....
Create good skills and management...Focus on that instead of the numbers, because those numbers seem to be subject to daily fluctuations! don't let your emotions get tooooo tied to that scale....you'll become very unhappy!
