Good morning Jland-Original by shrbrisc

I am sitting in my bedroom looking out my windows and it just hit me how beautiful it truly is out side , we have the stream that runs in front of our house and a pond , the tire swing in the big tree and the tea set table and chairs by the pond , along with the little bridge that crosses the stream .. the trees are still green with a touch of brown here and there it is truly a beautiful day on the farm..
I am sore and achy and I think I must of slipped up yesterday because I am up a pound on the scale so today , I will monitor my food intake more closely and try to get that pound off a maybe more before Friday..when I get busy and I have been so busy lately I tend to eat with out thinking , you know the run by and grab something and go theory , well yesterday was one of those days.
That is why I have to weigh my self everyday to keep myself accountable , not that I recommend anyone else doing it because there are some who get so frustrated (ok I do this too at times) that if they weigh every day the get discouraged and want to quit and go on a binge .. I am lucky I have friends who talk me off those binges (after a day or two anyway) .
Sometimes I think the hardest part about trying to lose weight is trying to find your way thru what works for you and what you can live with. I can join a weight loss program and probably drop 50-60 lbs over a small amount of time . Why don’t she do it then, because one it cost a lot of money and they have no sympathy on the poor , and two I will gain it back as soon as I stop the program and why do something that is only going to make it come back on and bring friends little fat cell friends that eat more ..
So today I get up like I do everyday , taking it one bite , one meal , one step, at a time . hoping to find what works for me and what I can live with for the rest of my life…
have a great day my friends and remember you are worth it , you can do it , whatever life throws at you we will get thru it together …

My view of weight loss is basically the same. This is something we have to do for therest of our lives, not just for a few months. It takes a while to get it right, and even then when you think you’ve got it, your body changes on you and you have to start over agian. Seems like a never ending struggle.Madison

We have to do what is right for us, and if getting on the scale daily works for you, then that is what you should do. You are right, one day at a time….that’s all we can do to keep up the good fight. You are doing that my friend, and I’m so proud of you!Pooh Hugs.Linda

Sounds like a beautiful view. Very relaxing. I used to weigh in everyday. Maybe that’s what I need to do again.

I wish I had the stream and the pond…that sounds heavenly!! It was gorgeous here today too…but I was stuck inside all day!! I agree, trying to find out what works….and STICKING WITH IT…..is the absolute hardest part of this whole weight loss thing. I am watching The Biggest Loser as I type this….and that’s an awesome motivator for me!!((hugs))Jeanne

I agree with the daily weighing, we need to hold ourselves accountable.
