A New Day, A New Start

Daily intake. A great starting point. Although my story is long going back in time, at this point does not serve a good purpose. Starting anew! Yay! This is what is important. The emotional eating binge of the past weekend? OVER! Yes, acknowledge, accept and release it! It is done! No sense to beat yourself up. Yesterday is also gone. It was not perfect, but after all what in life is? A rare occurrence, and to be fully celebrated when it does show up! Planning what to eat. Planning meals is key to the successful Weight Loss Journey. Today will be a totally on point day! Every morsel is planned, and will be consumed with gusto. How do we learn what and when to eat? There are so many different techniques, and ways offered, it is difficult to just realize that balance is what's required. The learning process comes from many sources. A fantastic nutritional outlook towards weight loss and well being is offered by a very well known organization. Weekly meetings and/or online participation is required. Goals are set, and the best information is shared. What is done with this depends on the individual. Many have joined and quit, Some have joined, quit and rejoined. Others have reached their goal weight and continue membership. What works for each of us may be different. I am feeling my way thru the process at this time. I lapse, and have not made progress in quite some time. I have lost a total of 40 pounds, and to reach my goal must lose at least another 60 pounds to be considered "normal". That being said, what the heck is "normal" anyway? A number on a chart, determined by medical professionals. But hey, we know what is normal for us! When we look good, feel good, and are enjoying better health. Maintaining the weight loss is another aspect of what must be accomplished in this journey. This is a journey that will never end as mentioned yesterday. A lifelong commitment is required. So are we ready? You betcha! So be the best you can be today, and do not let a slip or slide determine your feelings of making progress. Take it one meal, one hour, one minute or one second at a time, and go forward to success! Yay! You CAN do this!
