If you are like me, you have lost weight many times, only to "fall off the wagon" and go back to old bad habits. Of course, the weight comes back on and usually brings some friends along with it! For me, I started a new diet every Monday morning, usually after a weekend of binging on fast foods, buffets, and sweets for an entire weekend. Without fail by Wednesday my resolve would be lost and the cycle would begin again.
For some reason, this time it is different. Not to say I will not have setbacks along the way - - I am sure I will. But somehow this time I am seeing it as a lifestyle change, not a diet I can go on to lost the weight then return to old ways. I did not have a slap-in-the-face AHA moment, no bells and whistles, no light bulb went off. I am not sure WHY this time is different, but it is.
I know it has helped me tremendously to visit this site daily for support, so that is a big part of my success. I think WW online is another big part, as I have really gotten into the online point tracking (it is like a game for me ) But as far as why I suddenly had this change and became ready to make a permanent committment, I dunno. I just did!
So, for you on your weight loss journey, why is it different this time for you?
