Because I started with another program and now I am doing this one including the old as well; don't think that one journey is easier than another. There is more than one way to do a weight loss journey. What I have learned is that it starts with us!  This time around I did it different. I did not set a time limit! I did not worry about daily loss! I did not compare myself to someone else or their WL!

Circle of Friends

Sometimes I think when we set a goal and we focus on that number, we can set ourselves up for failure because it might have a negative cognizance to it.  Instead take tiny steps to achieve your goals, one day at a time.  If you slip and have a good night out with friends or a lovely vacation, don’t look at this as failure but an opportunity to be with friends & family and the enjoyment that it brought.  And let it go! Tomorrow is always a fresh beginning. The goal should not be our journey  end – because really that is the beginning. This is ongoing.  Funny when you think about it. We have to work for healthy!

Without my circle surrounding me every day and holding my hand, I could not have achieve what I have. This time, and you have heard it before, I did not place a time limit on this journey. I think that is why I have been able to do it with so little stress.

So today I use my “circle of pot” symbolizing my friendship with you and yours with me. That has been the best part of this journey, even better than that “number”! So thank you guys & gals
