This may not be a news flash to anyone else, but it is to me--I'm not perfect and never have been!


I've been struggling lately with staying on track 100% of the time and I've been sitting here wondering how I managed to make it for almost 12 full weeks without going "off track" last summer. So, I re-read my journal from June of last year.

Staci,
Well I am just SHOCKED! Not PERFECT? You?

You seem like a perfectly fine person to me....

But oh yeah, you're human-what makes us all interesting is the ways that we are not perfect (what would we all talk about if it weren't our own and everyone else's imperfections?)

This is a great realization for you - that you have to include food you love in your plan, and make sure that life isn't all about depriving yourself and saying 'no'.

This is such a long journey, and all we can hope is that we keep doing better and better, but how boring our lives would be if we were perfect!

Best Wishes

Me neither.. you made me look at my older journals and I realised a lot of stuff. First off, I was never on plan 100%, although I was losing. I was struggling a lot with food and having cheats almost everyday. I think I've gone a long way since then.


One thing that's really struck me is that each time I restart, I keep at it for 6 weeks, losing & all. Then the weight loss suddenly stops.. I keep trying for a while longer, then end up binging big time. I am really happy that I'm over the 6 weeks mark. Although I'm not losing as fast as I used to, I am consistently losing and that is great.


What's really funny is that since way back in August 2005, I've been having the same problems with exercise.


I'm a work in progress. "Progress" is the key word here
