Consistency is the key, right? Well, I am consistent with my one problem area. If I am a little off my diet for any reason, company here, away visit, a holiday, I find it very very hard to get back to my original plan. It takes twice as long to get back on it as the days I was off.
Going through that now since the grandkids went home. I was so tired of cooking all that food all the time I simply did not want to put in the effort my diet requires. I also had things here that I don't allow in the house simply because they're not good for me and they are "triggers" to overindulge. My frugal nature will not let me simply get rid of perfectly good food.
So, old habits came right back. All these weeks of eating right and once the habit is gone I go right back to the bad things I used to do. Like a magnet, they pull me right back in. Phooey. I have gained 2 lbs. since the kids went back home. But today I did lots better and I'm going to fight my way back down and I will try to come up with some solution how to get around this problem in the future.
Sunny, that is quite an accomplishment. I know it helps that you actually like all this electronic stuff. I can't even keep up a check list more than 3 months in a row. I guess it would help if I wasn't so busy all the time.
