Change is Good

Over the years I have been a Pro at Yo Yo dieting. Not on purpose or with pride, but it has been the history. Gain weight then try something to get it off. Maybe it works but then sometime down the road the weight creeps back and with more friendly pounds to boot. Other times it worked awhile and then something happened. Diet was to crazy to stick to, stopped buying someones food or shakes, some program came to an end, life got to crazy and emotions won out, are just a few. The really bad ones were the ones that bombed and then proceded to still gain after. Always harder the next attempt. Usually bigger swings in weight each time. Keep wondering (happily) why this is different. There has been no longing to throw in the towel. No feeling of deprivation. Even with the slowing of the losses there is no thinking ... Oh forget this. Is it the walking, cutting out HFCS, whole grains or the total package? Just glad for the first time though many of the old triggers have tried, this time feels like there is really a change. Becoming strong feels good. Truly enjoying foods I would never have liked or eaten before, that are good for the body is turning health issues around. Increased stamina is wonderful. So glad they had the right channel on the hospital TV the day Doctor Oz was on talking about the book. It's put the Yo Yo away for good.
