Long time… no change
I wll admit, I have not been here ina while fro the simple fact… I have haven’t even been trying. Every time I take a bite or drink a pop, I stop and think, “I don’t need this” but I do it anyway. I am so disappointed in myself. I cannot use my busy life as an excuse, but I feel every time I make a new buddy I let them down as I do not have time be on here very much. I am not ignoring anyone. I have joined the challenges in the past, but have failed with those too. When I do post I dont really feel like part of the group.I am out of the loopsince I have limited time to be on here. I always feel that Loosing weight is for me, it doesn’t have to be with others, but it sure does help.
OKay, enough whining… I just needed to do it and get it off my chest. I usually will start a diet the minute I feel like it. No need to wait. If you are going to do it, DO IT. Well, I am all about lifestyle changes. I have been changing many different facets of my life lately. The only part lacking is my eating habits. I have been doing some reading and now I hve made a decision about a change that will fit my family’s lifestyle. I am going to follow the Cheat To Lose. The concept being, everyone cheat occassionaly. YOu eat healthy Monday through Friday. From Saturday at 9 a.m. to Sunday at 9 p.m. you cheat. Do not overstuff or go overboard, but enjoy things would not enjoy on a “diet”. Let’s face it. When do we have birthday cakes, parties, an occassional drink? On the weekends. To me, it makes sense. For my family, it will work. Or at least that is the plan….
Wish me luck!

Being a Type 2 diabetic on no meds for diabetes Now. I have to restrict my eating all the time or will revert back to insulin. So I am using blood sugars and food journal to keep me on track. But I have trigger foods I just must stay away from or I will eat everything in sight. Wishing you the best with your plan and let us know how it works. Marge
Continue to stay strong girl. I try to tell myself that it took years to gfet to where I am and it will take years to get back. One day at a time. Hang in there. If you have room for one more Buddy give me a yell, it may be helpful for both of us since we live in the same town.
