Lose weight the fun way.

I think you're exactly right. I've not mastered what you're describing but I'm on the way. I try not to get derailed every time I hit a bad few days or (like last month) hit a month where emotions rule me. At least now, even when I have a bad month, my inner voice will not allow me to completely give up. I think giving yourself some grace, but not allowing yourself to cop out and quit is key. Thanks for your post.

I'm in a 30 day diet bet right now and a Transformer that had a weigh in today, but I'll be joining your 30 day diet bet. I appreciate your insight and encouragement. I started this journey January 1st and have lost 20.5 pounds. I've got 60 more to lose. What I've found is that not all Diet Bets are helpful to all. Some have left me uninspired and unaccountable. Others keep me on track. I don't just want to complain about what's going on in my life that keeps me from hitting my goal. I want to understand how to overcome. It sounds like you've done that. Thanks, Marcie.

Congratulations on losing 20.5 pounds - that is an accomplishment! Life will always throw us curve balls and what took me too many years to learn is that being in control of my health is actually the best stress management tool there is. Seriously.
