My Message to You

My message to you, almost two years after reaching my goal weight, is: don't ever stop paying attention!  Even after you reach your goal, the work is not over.  You can not just ignore the bad habits when they start to creep back.  You can not avoid the scale and the nutritional information or portion sizes of what you are consuming.  You have committed to a new lifestyle and you must embrace and come to love and respect that lifestyle.  Or else, like me, you will find yourself 20lbs above goal and stewing in self-hatred.  Luckily for me, I have made myself aware of this problem and made a decision to re-commit to the healthy way of living that I was once so proud of!  I AM a Weight Watchers Member - I can not forget that!
