Thanksgiving came and went and I did put on a few pounds. I dinned with a family of really good cooks who take real pride in their gatherings. It was the best Thanksgiving feast I've ever had. Now that we're into December, I managed to get back on track and take those few pounds off. This means I'm where I started in November.
I don't know that Life is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes its more of an obstacle course:) I'm in transition in a way I really never imagined and certainly wouldn't have deliberately engineered. As I move through these unexpected changes, my Mantra is for "Spirit to move through me and show me the way, knowing it is for my highest good." Chief among my biggest concerns, as I try to relax into the hair pin turns, is that I revert to old behavior patterns; like using food and wine to comfort myself or just getting so frustrated that I give up.
I'm reminded that deep breathing in for 3 counts and out for 6 will always help to ground me. Trust. I must simply trust the process.

URLovable -- After coming out of the gate pretty fast and running hard for the first 3-4 mos. on FS, I started to experience 'backslide' days where old habits crept in. BUT, unlike in previous weight loss attempts, I didn't allow those (and still don't) to COMPLETELY 'derail' me to the point of just throwing in the towel. It's simply and "OK, that happened -- wish it didn't and hope it doesn't again, but not going to dwell and just get back on the horse instead -- key is allowing for the fact that you're human, not a machine/robot, so these slip-ups are likely unavoidable. But we can at least mitigate their extent and duration by simply moving/looking forward and getting right back on track/task. Sounds/looks like that's what you've done, so I'd call that a win/success!

Thank you, Losin it. I see you've been really steady having lost weight consistently. I appreciate your support. You're right about not giving up and being kind to ones self. We are human and therefore have free will, which means every moment of the day is an opportunity to make a different choice:) Good reminder!
