heidiiiii Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think the motivation waned with the weather...(and valentine`s candy) But now that all the new spring clothes (and summer is coming..ACK!) we all might get into the groove again. I havent gained any weight..stayed the same...the still blobby same...Maybe some more work in the yard will help whittle away the lbs.

Peachie Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thanks everyone...its not easy....but I don't have a choice it has to come off...seems when I meet my goal....he sets another one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 when I meet my goal....he sets another oneIt's a whole lot easier to stay on task when you are achieving realistially set short-term goals than if the Doctor suddenly announces, "MY GOD! You need to lose xxx pounds by _ _ _ ." Medical professionals with any sort of experience & insight know it's much safer and much more likely to be complied with if they give you a small goal and when you achieve it they set another small goal. When my doctor put me on "his" diet he informed me I'd be hungry all the time and I told him there was no way I was going to stay on any diet that made me feel constantly hungry, I'd find some way to feel fed or it wouldnn't work; so I used the info I got in nutrition class and his diet and a lot of the low-fat & fat-free products that are out there now, and I have cut out everything I'm not supposed to have (surprisingly no cravings). It took me about a year to internalize the changes and then the Doc put DH on the same diet, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say my diet will change again here shortly.....will have to wait and see.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
