Full disclosure! I confess...............
............to being human! Last winter I had a relapse! As readers of this blog know, I was enjoying a 250 pound weight loss!!! I started my "Journey to Happiness" program in July of 2004. I surpassed my goal weight and was on the maintenance plan.
I was not as careful in working my program. My daily walking suffered and I was not as eager to jump on the scale that would have alerted me to a weight gain.
Long story short............ I gained 50 pounds! I knew it without even weighing. My clothes were tighter and I had less ambition! That was my wake up call! I started working my program again and saw the results on the scale, but it was a lot harder to lose this time around! I'm happy to report that I have lost all the weight that I gained (plus), putting me under my goal weight and in my maintenance zone once again!! I am determined to follow my program and keep a close eye on it as I do not want to go through the pain and suffering of having to lose the same weight over and over again!
Thank you for all of your support and encouragement during this process! The battle continues!! That said I think I'll have a bowel of homemade soup and go for a long walk!! Thanks again!
