Introduction Text Wow, time goes fast. Last year I wrote "After all these years on Spark People time to update these remarks again. Still struggling with last 16 pounds to goal, but have some confidence that is going to happen in 2016." Now 2017 is 2/3 gone and I am still struggling with last 14 of those pounds. I have become a bit more social but that has led to more meals out, a little less of the prepare from scratch program, and it shows as I pay just enough attention to maintain but not actively get to goal. I hope to make the last third of the year count and see at least some high 130's on scale. I have used every excuse in the book to rationalize my slow progress, I think the time has come to just do it. I truly do believe in the philosophy of the small goals commitment challenge and the importance of community in this journey.

My beginning goals are pretty basic. 1. Drink my water 2. Add 20 min. a day to my usual exercise 3. Journal my food (and feelings) 4. Work on evening eating, I've really allowed it to sabatoge my program 5. Limit refined carbohydrates

I have most of the eating principles of Weight Watchers and South Beach (plus a few recent ones from OA) committed to memory. They are often de-railed by emotional eating, occasions when I use food for comfort or entertainment. Addressing the emotional aspect will be as important as the plan of eating.



My favorite leisure activities are walking, reading, writing and quilting..
