Getting Back On Track

I had been doing really great with my weight loss.  I lost about 60 pounds but then stalled.  So I joined Weight Watchers.  I was doing pretty good on Smart Points plan.  However, with the new switch to Freestyle, I am really struggling.  Don’t get me wrong, Freestyle is a good plan for many people who have willpower and control over their eating.  For me, it just isn’t working.  With Freestyle, they have increased the number of foods that are free.  My big issue is that I didn’t overeat sweets & stuff like that.  I overate most of the foods that they have put to free.  It is easy for me to go back for 2nds or 3rds on chicken, fish, etc.  I prefer the savory foods.  I know that the leaders keep saying to think of it as zero points instead of free.  But I have a more logically inclined mindset.  Let me explain my way of thinking.  Imagine walking into a store with $23 in your pocket and being told that all the pants are free and you can take as many as you want.  You are going to gr

  Description In Visualization for Weight Loss, Jon Gabriel expands on the most talked about tool in his best-selling book, The Gabriel Method: visualization. This powerful technique helped Jon drop 220 pounds without dieting or deprivation because it didn’t depend on calorie counting or extreme exercise—rather it changed his biochemistry and neural pathways.

D is for Dating

I have been thinking a lot about this lately.  I have been divorced now for almost 15 years now.  I had dated quite a bit after my divorce.  However, in the last 6 or 7 years, I completely stopped dating. The reason that this has been on my mind is because I am nearing the scary age of 40 (this October).  I am way overweight and need to really lost a lot of weight.  I am more then 100 pounds overweight.  Plus with my health issues, it just doesn’t make it easy. I miss having someone to go out with.  I miss waiting for them to call.  I miss getting excited as they are on their way to pick me up.  I just miss the thrill of dating.  I also miss just knowing that someone is there.  I am just afraid that if I wait too long that I will end up alone for the rest of my life.
