Accountability

I can't just talk the talk..I have to walk the walk. Between a new relationship and my trip to London, I've put back a few pounds. I'm not going to go crazy thinking about the weight I've gained or worry to death about taking them off...I have the tool and frame of mind to do so. But in order to be accountable, I revised my ticker to show my current weight and not my lowest weight.

I wonder if Alex can provide a means of being able to show the fluctuations we in maintenance go through. I think it's important to see not just those who regain all or much of it back, but those who gain and lose throughout.

I remind myself that even naturally thin folk don't maintain the same weight all the time. I'm pretty sure that if they see a gain of a few pounds, they don't panic..they just do what needs to be done to shed those pounds and go about their business. I for one am trying to do just that. I expect to revise my ticker as those extra pounds come off.

    No hon, I'd never have believed it. I still pinch myself...and get angry that I let so many years pass by while I did nothing to help myself. I know...we can't cry over spilt milk but I swear I'll nev

Joining in with a long walk around San Francisco. Mission Delores and park. Ended by eating Brussels sprouts in a little cute place .... Where everyone was 30 years younger.
