Been there so many times myself, it's like a well beaten path.<br /><br />Being confident in making the end goal is fabulous. Being confident in eyeballing portions, in thinking that this extra or that extra isn't going to hurt is pure mind games.<br /><br />Yep, you are so close you can taste it and it is so exciting to be able to watch you work towards it. However, a cautionary tale is always worth hearing....getting too confident can undo and delay goals in a heart beat. Count, measure, record all. It's a tool to weight loss, not a chore.<br /><br />You've got what it takes, work it like it was the first day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823908020431638884.post-69295593969132978892010-02-18T05:32:29.875-05:002010-02-18T05:32:29.875-05:00I started letting myself get away with things, too...I started letting myself get away with things, too, and unfortunately, the scale went up. You and I are about the same weight right now, and I think getting to 300 by April 2nd is a great goal.

Yet I also hate the fact that my life has been totally focussed on my weight/size. I often think about the fact that we create what we focus on, and often wonder if part of my struggle is caused by my focus on it. I seem to be going round and round in circles. BTW, I am totally in awe of your success. Keep it up!Sibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069079424000309830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823908020431638884.post-35443745651530629652010-02-17T19:38:21.809-05:002010-02-17T19:38:21.809-05:00WOW!

I so needed to read that this week- as I am also ramping back up.. been a few months of SLOW SLOW moving scale... and a few months of not being as motivated to work out... it is starting to come back... and yep! Gotta start being "difficult" at restaurants etc- tuna in a cup instead of a sandwich... it's a pain- but it's what made me successful to begin with. I have lost 131 as of this morning! I still want about 20 more... and I KNOW I am going to have to WORK for those... I am ready! THANK YOU for the words today!! <br /><br />La-La-https://www.blogger.com/profile/06349128394717600556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823908020431638884.post-1052062361272671392010-02-17T12:01:26.600-05:002010-02-17T12:01:26.600-05:00Helen, I was in the back by design...MY design! lo...Helen, I was in the back by design...MY design! lol I had no clue they were going to have us do something like that so to the back I went to "pretend" to follow along ;) <br /><br />Bryguy, Thanks for the comment ;) I do believe that its a state of mind, I am still there just kind of maintaining which is good that I can do that without gaining anything but a bit early on that maintenance boat I think is all ;)<br /><br />As Ever<br />MeZeusmeatballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841730555706808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823908020431638884.post-76064864476370859762010-02-17T11:31:19.580-05:002010-02-17T11:31:19.580-05:00You mentioned "100% Focus" and how distr...You mentioned "100% Focus" and how distractions interfered with your focus... this is exactly the thing that I've been struggling with for a very long time.<br /><br />I'd put a ton of effort into staying on the straight and narrow... and a "distraction" would cause me to veer from my course and I'd start to lose focus, relax and slowly ease back into my old ways.<br /><br />I've recently made a conscious effort to effort to replace the word "distraction" with "life". Lets face it; life is full of distractions. I've realized the key is trying to look at each curve-ball life throws at me as an individual hurdle to get over/past before I can refocus on my goals.<br /><br />I don't think 100% is attainable, but if I go out with a buddie and sub come to a pizza temptation... oh well it's only 1 meal and I get try to refocus on the next meal.<br /><br />If my knee gives out on me and I can't exercise for a week & I eat poorly out of self pity... oh well next Monday is a new week & a try to refocus on my objectives.<br /><br />I'm currently still struggling with this concept, but I'm improving with every day, week and month that passes.<br /><br />My hope is that some day I'll be able to accept life's distractions as a temporary challenge to overcome and not an invitation to let me lose focus on what's important. <br /><br />I guess it's just "A State of Mind"<br /><br />Oh and by the way... you're doing amazing!BornSquishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395661092511605858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823908020431638884.post-48119801624800982282010-02-17T10:03:51.347-05:002010-02-17T10:03:51.347-05:00Funny how that creeps up on our journey.

Enjoyed the Dr. Oz show and yes I did see you! I noticed they put the giants in the back for the Richard Simmons segment.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974376008651624094noreply@blogger.com
