Hi Susan and FOL...I wouldn't like to call you by your sign in name!!!!
For some reason almost all our regular posters have disappeared from this thread. I have not posted lately either...but I keep checking in to see if anyone else has!
I am also a yo-yo dieter for the past oh 30 something years! Now it is a matter of health rather than just to look better, so that should be more of a motivation, right?
I know what you mean about getting motivated...that is really the battle to me...once I'm motivated, I do well. Once I lose the motivation, I'm a goner!!
I couldn't seem to stay motivated this year after I started dieting again in January, so I joined Weight Watchers in March. That has really helped me, because it's more of a commitment than just doing it on my own. Spending that money and weighing in every week is helping. and counting points makes me a lot more aware of how much I'm actually eating.
I've been doing so good, until this past weekend, when I brought a whole birthday cake home that was left over from my mom's birthday open house. At least I've limited myself to one piece yesterday, and one the day before, but I love sweet stuff, especially white cake with white buttercream icing!
But, I'm back on the wagon today,eating veggie soup and fruit, and only have a pound to get back off by Thursday in order to break even!
Stick around, and hopefully all the great ladies we have in our over 50 group will be back on here soon.
