Reflect, Evaluate, Solve

I have been doing a lot of thinking and evaluating this last week. Why is it when I get to this point, I relapse and end up gaining everything back? I think I have finally come to the answer to that question. Why do we ever decide to lose weight? Usually we are uncomfortable...nothing fits...feel tired... should I go on? Well, I have lost enough weight and inches that all of my clothes are hanging on me. I even have a pair of pants that I had to pin the other day. Since all of my clothes are big, I am comfortable in them. Due to being comfortable...I think that it plays a huge mental part in realpsing. I have to constantly remind myself that this is not a diet and it is definitely not temporary. I have to remind myself that this is now my life. Counting, weighing, planning, exercising...all of it is now part of my daily routine. Baseball for my 6 year old begins in a few weeks and I am worried about how it is going to interfere with my gym schedule. I'm sure I will figure something out.
Thanks Lucia for your words of encouragement. You are a wonderful WW leader.
