Recommit - to YOU & following the rules

Pattie, Welcome back! You've been missed - as is everyone else we haven't heard from! As you've read, Patty, it sometimes isn't so easy to get back on track but we are all working on it. Remember the old saying, progress not perfection? Well, last year this time, it was much easier to be almost perfect! Our appetites had not returned and we were scared to test our limits. Now, we're like teenagers - a little rebellious and trying to see how far we can "push" our new tool while at the same time needing the reassurance that our tool is still working and we can trust it. Basically, I believe we are all a little scared of having more "freedom" to choose now and are remembering how many other times we failed after getting off track. One thing I've read in that Beck Diet Solution book is that we can get back on track any time during the day. We can turn it around and make the next meal or snack exactly what our body needs. So, right now, we may need to take it an hour at a time! Our bodies and minds have to realize that the Carb Train has left the station and only complex carbs are welcome now - after the protein!!! So, Pattie, hop on board! Continuing with the train metaphor, remember the Little Engine Who Could? Hey, I may be wrong but I know some engine, somewhere kept saying: "I think I can, I think I can." Well, we KNOW we can! There's power in numbers - especially when we're looking over each others shoulders!!! CeCe

I join you in the re-commitment. "I, Christy, recommit to getting back on track and using the tool and gift I have been given to the maximum. I will use it for fuel and need, not for the unnecessary wants and desires in life."
