Staying Motivated

One of the hardest things to do is stay motivated on this journey.  Every morning I get up and the first thing I think about is I have to continue on.  What am I going to eat today?  The ironic part is that the old me used to get up and ask ok what am I going to eat today? Waiting for each meal to come and indulge in all things bad.  Now it's the same question but with a different meaning.  What am I going to eat today to keep me satisfied but also keep me on this journey that seems like it's taking forever.

Yes, I could join nutri system, jenny craig or some other quick and "easy" weight loss but one of the things I decided to do on this journey was to do this on my own, as a normal person with whatever foods are available to me and learning how to handle the food around me.  Yes this is taking longer but I am learning how to eat normally and make better decisions.  It has to be that way.  I've heard to many stories about quick weight loss only for that person to gain it all back when they were done with the program.

I'll take the long road.  I refuse to walk this road again.

As I venture into another day, another week and yet another holiday (Easter).....I will do my best to stay on this path.

Happy Easter everyone!

WELCOME TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE

It's been a very busy beginning of the year and unfortunately I've gotten a little off track with life in general.  I've been very overwhelmed with my daughter's dancing schedule and my son's wrestling schedule among other things.  I took a bit of a U-turn on my diet and with my writing of the book and the blog.  This is life. This is what it's all about and what I set out to do. To lose weight like a normal person with a normal life who sometimes loses focus.  While I will still be writing my blogs I want to say

WELCOME TO MY FACE BOOK PAGE

Yes, The Road To Thin now has a Facebook page.  Some of you have been with me from the beginning and some may be just finding me now, if you are just discovering my story. . . WELCOME!

You'll still find the same unique,, entertaining, some times "ranting" blogs here (you can also view this blog right from FB) but be prepared for a fun, new, interactive Facebook page.  Everyone is welcome, all ages, all sizes. Share your opinions, your stories, your tips or just come along for the ride.  

Be there as I reach the finish line, as I reach my goal of losing 100 pounds (and maybe more) and as I complete my book.

It is true when I say that your support means the world to me and you all help keep me going on this journey.
