Hellooooooooooo…………Cynthia, WE have a problem!!!

I was struggling, but still hanging on before Thanksgiving of last year and reached my high of 69.2 pounds lost. Since then, I have been up and down, up and down...........with my gain this past Saturday, I have now officially lost only 51.4 pounds--up 17.8 pounds from lowest weight since joining in 12/2009.

Let THAT bit of reality sink in, Cynthia. You had lost 69.2 pounds, now you’ve only lost 51.4.

It is time to stop the madness!! It is time to stop hiding behind the excuses you've managed to hang on to. It is time to stop choosing failure BECAUSE success is an option!!!!

YES, I am thankful to be 51.4 pounds lighter than my highest weight. HOWEVER, this is not an acceptable weight to stay at. And, let’s face it, as a friend and I were talking yesterday…………we don’t STAY at a specific weight, we are either losing or gaining. Why is it so hard to lose, yet so easy to gain?

THAT should have served as a wake-up call. But, alas, birthday cake called louder and more obnoxiously and this has not been a good week.

Yesterday, as I was sitting at my desk at work, I realized just how bad, physically bad, I felt. I felt sluggish again. My knees have been hurting more. My energy is less.

WAKE UP!!!!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!!

Cynthia, remember your decision to make the right choices to take back your health and mobility????

Cynthia, remember how good it felt to walk free of pain and the stick????

Cynthia, remember how good it felt to get off your BP meds????

Cynthia, remember how good it felt to shop at stores without electric scooters????

ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE THAT UP AGAIN????????

My head says a resounding NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! But, my actions, my actions are what counts and will they show a resounding NOOOOOO????????

Will I continue to haphazardly follow the WW program?

Will I continue to "excuse" my way out of trips to the swimming pool?

Will I continue to hope the scales show a loss when I know that my eating and activity level have done very little to contribute to a loss?

When will this madness stop?

Cynthia, we have a problem!! What’s your choice going to be? Only YOU can make the right choices!!
