Back on Track

The past several months I have struggled with staying focused on my "diet". The summer was not kind to me, with camp (yes, most of us gain weight eating 3 full meals each day, including dessert at two of those meals and hot buttered yeast rolls daily!), then vacation, etc. Happily I have not had a complete backslide, but I had slipped into the next 10 pounds of numbers (the upper end of the next 10 pound range!)- somewhere I did not want to go. I have managed to shed several of those pounds in the past couple of weeks, but it will probably be another 3 weeks before I get back to my "low"- of course my "low" was a weight I was at one day! I have not abandoned ship and I think this is the longest period of time I have successfully kept off a large amount of weight before regaining all of it, so for that I am thankful. My motivation is still high and I am going to win this battle! I have so much that I need to be healthy for- but most importantly for myself. So, say an extra prayer for me that I can withstand the evil forces of food (well, of the wrong choices and quantity in food), and continue to see the scales head south!
