Hello everyone it has been a long time sense I have posted! the last.  4 months have been extremely difficult.  For me!  Money emotionally! Did anyone else go through a depression state! I'm now pulling it together. I have had little to no appetite . There have been days when all I had was a bottle of water and a jello cup! I did that so everyone would stop asking me if I have eaten anything! I haven't gain any weight  I m still losing at 16  months a have lost. A 130 lbs. I'm in a size 10 I'm shooting for that size 8 at my 2 year mark in May! Physically I Feel great! Mentally I'm just trying to get over this hump!

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF MY PROBLEMS HAVE RESOLVED WHEN I FURTHER CHANGED MY DIET.

CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT A RELIEF THAT IS !!

After six years on this journey, I think that the most important things that I've find to help maximize the weight loss opportunity and maintenance is developing and exercising awareness and accountability. I think that most of us that have had a serious weight issue also have had what I often refer to as 'Three Monkey Syndrome' aka 'Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil.' This lack of awareness and accountability can and have had a crippling effect on many of us. The good news is that we can develop ways to be aware and in tune with what we consume and our level of activity. What we each do to become aware of our actions and the impact that they have on us varies depending on our needs at the time, but the need to be aware never goes away.

What do you do to be aware of your intake and activity?

Do you have things that you do to help you be accountable to yourself?

Have the tools you use to be aware and accountable changed over the course of your journey?

I look forward to hearing from you.
