Searching for Obsession
As I have said many times, I started blogging here for my own "accountability" in my weight loss efforts. I realize that most attempts at this difficult feat have their ups and downs.
Well, call this a down.
After a 12 pound loss, which I am very proud of, I have teetered on an uncrossable line for sometime now. Gain 2, lose 2. Gain 2, lose 2. With 2.5 weeks to go until my "goal date", it ain't lookin' purty.
5 pounds by then would make me happy. 7 would make me ECSTATIC!
So I set down this morning to find my obsession again. Yes, I know, some people consider "obsession" sort of a bad thing. But in this case it has worked for me in the past. Live it, breath it, DO IT! When I gather all my focus on my weight loss efforts, I seem to see big things happen in a short amount of time. So the question is, where do I find that "fire" or spark again?
As I sat pondering this morning, looking back over the tools that I have used to get me this far, I realized that one of them was getting lost in the shuffle. Humzoo. You know, the websites that "taste like cake", and can help you lose weight (well, me) only if you're going to do that you can't actually eat the cake??
Yup. That's one area that I have faltered in. I notice the ebb and flow of my progress thus far, and I see that when I am on here talking to me self (blogging) I seem to keep a better focus. I have said it many times before, half the game is the mind game.
So here I am, trying to re-focus. Grasping for a spark and a chance at those 7 pounds.
Can I do it???

But, really, you've done great! The body takes awhile to adjust before it will move further. You sound really serious about this, so with the continued exercise your body will slowly move out of it's lull.
I'll check out the book. Sounds interesting! Thanks!
