Moving Forward

     I am down 5 pounds over the last 7 days!  It's funny how the fear of gaining weight again can really kick your butt into high gear.  Portions and will power...that's how I'll get to my goal. 
    I actually really like that my story is not like one of those that you see on infomercials for workout DVDs or diet supplements.
"Susie lost 89lbs in just 4 weeks!" 
But what you have to look carefully for the teeny tiny fine print at the bottom of the screen that quickly flashes the words...
"Results NOT typical"
  Isn't that convenient?  You might lose 89 or you might lose 3 or you might gain 8!  Why can't I be shown the typical result?  Why can't they tell me "Listen lady, you stir this baking powder into your coffee and nothing with happen, but if you couple it with diet and exercise, you will lose weight."  Doesn't that seem like a DUH moment?  I could couple diet and exercise with skydiving and I'd lose weight!  Slow and steady wins the race!  Time for another before and after eh?
