Back again after nearly a year...

Hellloooo again!

After a year or two or not sticking with the program and slowly gaining back what I lost, I've finally decided to bite the bullet and shut up and do what I'm told. I'm not getting anywhere by doing my own thing, and I keep wondering why I seem to have no self-control or determination.

I still don't have those answers, but I'm hoping that with the wonderful guidance of the folks here, and keeping my own goals in sight, I might succeed. If I make it through two weeks, I'll be pretty pleased. I seem to have been doing 3 days on, 3 days off. A few times I might do ok for 2 weeks, see results, and then figure that I'll be ok if I just have a little treat. Then the 3 days off, 3 days on cycle begins again.

So, I've been keeping track of my food and thoughts in my journal the past few days, hoping that it'll spur me to keep it on consistently. Plus, I have a few weeks in Lugano, Switzerland to hopefully look forward to next fall (my friend keeps my on track by whispering "smooth Swiss boys" in my ear if I threaten to stray), and my 30th birthday. I want to enter my 30s with a bang!!

Wish me luck, gang. I'm gonna need it!

Welcome back! Learn from your past attempts and if you do slip up just get right back on track. Don let it derail you for good. It is easier to overcome one bad day than you think. Good lluck with your efforts and this place is very motivating and the people very supporitive. Check in often, it sure is helping me.

Thanks everyone!!! It "feels" on track this time around. Not so much "GRRR!! Trogdor will SUCCEED!!" but more of an "ok, here's just what I have to do."
