I'm sure you know everything you need to know about nutrition....  but I think there may be experiencing the same short circuit some of the rest of us have experienced along the path... you know, that disruption that causes you to go off track with the behavior even though you "know better'....

 

I think those of us who have a lot to loose are more vulnerable to that... because it takes longer to drop all the weight... and LIFE intervenes !!!!  and keeps doing that...      

 

That's where we go "South"  and have to find our way back over and over... and many of us don't.

 

I kept tripping over this and seeing others do this...   I found it very dissapointing...   and had wondered and discussed what could be done about that...  if there was a solution short of being "locked up"  to solve this... for myself and others...

 

then last January I ran into an old idea  clothed in new words...   several of us ran into it at about the same time...  partly because of Flylady's book Body Clutter...    it described building new routines... eating routines... exercising routines... grocery shopping routines....      and redoing LIFE around them...  and it worked... I got it.. finally... LIFESTYLE... I didn't have lifestyle...  it's LIFESTYLE that sustains when the world goes tilt...  I finally don't have to think about eating right... it's now coming naturally... 

 

I added One healthy behavior at a time..  I auditioned them, I practiced them../ I advertised them... I almost took out an ad in the paper announcing each one... EVERYBODY knows my routines now...  if I slip..everyone around me  knows and reminds me...

 

and instead of tying me down... I"m free to pay attention to all the other much more interesting things in life....  and healthy just happens... I"m normal again.... no, I'm not thin yet... but it's happening...   breakfast of nuts, lunch at 11, supper at 4...  8 hours of sleep... groceries on Thursday...  water aerobics...         sugar is gone, bread is gone... fat is going....   breathing is back...feeling rested is back...   comfortable is here...

 

jump on in, the water's fine

I am happy for you that you are on your way to better health! If you would like to talk with others in tough situations, including some that live in Australia, you might want to check out the board called" Maximizing Weight Loss Through the Tough Times". Go to Message Boards, scroll down and click on Weight Loss Challenge Discussions. When you get to the page where they are all listed, at the top choose to sort by "popularity", and then this one I recommended will be about 6th on the list. Best of success to you!!
