Making time in 2009.
I can not say that I am new here. I have had a profile since september. The sad truth is that I have only posted two blogs. Truthfully I look at this site alot but never write down my thoughts to share. I always tell myself that this site takes up a lot of time. So NOT true!! If I can get on here to look at what everyone else wrote why can’t I write something?? Am I lazy?? No, i just don’t take the time to do soething for me. Does that make sense?? I am always putting others first and myself second. Well this is it, I come first for awhile!! 2009 is my year!! I am doing this for me. So this is the first step in many. Just taking time out of my schedule to post how I feel is a good first step.
I have been on a “diet”…I hate that word….for ten months now. I have lost about 40 pounds total. I am going at it slow and steady. I know it will all come off at its own pace. I changed the way I look at food….let me tell you that was hard and it took me awhile. Don;t get me wrong I still love snacks but I have learned that a sanck size candy bar is just as good as the king size.
So that is all I will write for now…more to come I promise. I will keep this promise to myself to make time for me. I am just as important as everyone else.

Slow and steady is certainly the way to do it.
This site does take a lot of time but guess what? So worth it. In my opinion, it keeps me on my toes and forever accountable for my actions.
Keep writing and I’ll keep reading and commenting.
slow and steady weightloss is more likely to stay off. sure everyone wants a quick fix and wouldn’t it be nice to lose a dress size in a couple days, but reality means if you do have that happen it’s probably water and you’ll get it right back.
40lbs is a great weight loss, and it means you ARE doing something for yourself!!!
don’t call it a diet - blah! - it’s a life change! you can’t diet forever, but you can make better food choices and do it for the rest of your life.
good luck, and make sure to stop in and say hey from time to time. it def helps you stay on track!
