A little history

I've been heavier than I am right now and I've been thinner. Right now, I'm 30 to 35 pounds more than I was a few years ago. I felt good at that weight, not so much at this weight. When you've lost a bunch of pounds, you think you will NEVER go back to being heavy again and then years go by and you've put on 5 pounds. But, that's not so bad. Suddenly, it's ten then fifteen and then the spiralling out of control thing happens and you find youself 30 pounds heavier. sigh.

Weight is so much more enjoyable to put on than to take off.

But feeling good and being healthier are two things you can enjoy for the rest of your life. I have to focus on that.

Not on the cookies on the counter. LOL

I work at a very sedentary job, sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day. I used to have a job where I was lifting and moving and going up and down stairs all day. It was much easier to stay in shape. Now I find it's much easier to stay sitting on my duff than to get up and move around. I can't change jobs, but I can change the amount of time I stand on my feet and move when I'm not on the job.

Maybe a few brisk laps around the office wouldn't hurt either. LOL

So, I guess it doesn't matter so much where you've been before as where you're going. Forget the failures and false starts and focus on feeling better and being healthier. Yeah...that's it.
