Renewing the Journeyposted 9/21/09 5:49 am
Hello friends,
Someone mentioned to me that part of this process we are on is to Journel. I just need to get into a routine of doing that here as well. Sometimes when we have been trudging down this road, the new, shiny excitement has worn off and it becomes drudgery to live a healthy lifestyle. I wrote some things that I want to repost here that I have now posted near my computer to help me remember to stay connected to you all Things I can do to start a healthier life: 1. get a tool to help me lose weight 2. learn how to "live the bariatric lifestyle" 3. use all that knowledge from all my previous diet attempts to prepare and eat healthy, nutritious food 4. Exercise everyday 5. Develop and use a support system to help with the mental aspects of my disease of obesity (journaling, therapy, support groups (online and in person) 6. Trust in the process and use the tool as effectively as I can 7. Utilize the skills and resources of my health care team to help me. Seven small steps to help keep me on track and keep me motivated. And don't try to overwhelm yourself to do everything at once. Chose one and work on it. I have chosen Online journaling. I will be posting here to give me an outlet and keep me accountable. If you don't see something from me by Tuesday each week, post and ask me where I am. (All except Columbus day...I will be in the Adirondaks and don't think my internet service will be connected) So thanks for listening/reading and get back to me with your input.
