Dialed In
Filed under Day to Day,Quotes by admin at 3:13 am on Jun 12 2008
It is funny on this journey how at times it can be so unbelievable difficult and other times it is so much easier. At times it feels like the food is crawling in my mouth begging for me to eat it. Then other times, I can resist almost anything. It is a strange thing. Lately, I have been dialed in on the goal. Focused and doing well. I am almost scared to say it because I don’t want to get hit upside the head with a bag of Dove chocolate. Am I saying that I am perfect in my eating? NO! But my portions are under control, I am making much better choices, and I am practicing everything I know.
I will say that I did not care for Core. That is just my personal opinion. I am not saying it isn’t a good option. I am just much more comfortable with Flex. I don’t have to think as much with Flex. Flex doesn’t feel like a diet to me. Core felt like a diet. I think it is because you have to be aware of when you are full. It was really stressing me out trying to make sure that I wasn’t eating too much. At least with Flex, I know that I have my 18 points each day and when they are gone they are gone. Core did help me with one big thing. I am making better choices again. I think there is an ebb and flow in my food choices. I can go for a long period and make great food choices day in and day out. Focusing on the 8 Healthy Guidelines. Then there are chunks of time that as long as I only eat my points I am happy. Core helped me get back to making better choices. Less 100 calorie bags, etc.
I am not saying that I will never go back to Core. Far from that! I am sure that I will go back at some time. For me, it just took a lot of thought and planning. And all of that extra thought & planning was a little too much for me right now.
One last thing, I found a great quote this morning that I wanted to share.
Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all
sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining
that state of mind known as a burning desire to win which is one
of the essentials to success.
- Napoleon Hill
Hmm. I think this quote is awesome. When I started WW in April of 2007, I didn’t give myself any out. I was in this for the long haul. I was sick & tired of being fat. Since & tired of never losing the weight. Frustrated with feeling so lousy and uncomfortable in my own skin. I wasn’t going to try Weight Watchers for just a short period and see how it worked for me. I was going to work the program. Make it part of my life-style. Not make it a diet. Weight Watchers is my life forever.
Have you given yourself a way out? A retreat out of this journey? You need to block & bar all paths of retreat.
OK. I am stepping down off of my soap-box. I hope that everyone has a great day.
Healthy & Happy Eating,
Kristen
PS I am working on the NI for my creamy cubed steak. I am having major problems finding the NI for the cubed steak. :::sigh::: I can find points but not just NI. So I will work on it a little longer. If I can’t find it, then I am going to post the recipe without NI.
