A new way of thinking

My sister Kara made a suggestion to me through a comment on my last post. Instead of continuing my weight loss from 2006 maybe I need to consider that one done and make a fresh start. I like it.

I began my weight loss effort in December of 2006 and was able to lose 60 pounds. My weight is now 260 (give or take) and I would like to weigh 230 or less. I've been holding steady for almost a year now. Which is good.

I have been struggling lately with snacking too much. I've put on a couple of pound and I notice my double X shirts aren't as roomy as they once were. So the weight battle continues.

I'm starting over. A new me and a new goal. I have learned some thing recently. I haven't been taking my Hoodia regularly. And I now believe that has made a difference. My goal was to save some money but instead of spending on Hoodia and was spending on snacking.

I am glad you liked my suggestion. And really good point on the money being spent either on hoodia or snacking.

When I've lost weight, it sometimes got overwhelming when a lot of weight came off. I could say "well, at least I still have 15 lbs off. well, at least I still have 10 lbs off...." etc. Starting new, or only "counting" 10 lbs at a time helped me keep on track. It'll be interesting to see if that works for you. Right now I'd be happy if I could lost 2 lbs. Or half a pound.
