I was just thinking and looking at my charts and I realized 2 things. First, before this week I had 64 days without losing an ounce. At the time, I was so stressed out by life events that I didn't even care. Luckily I didn't gain anything either. Second, I noticed that of the 6 friends on my blog only 3 are still blogging.
In the past I've lost weight and gained it right back again but this time that didn't happen. The only conclusion I can make of all of this is that blogging at least kept me accountable for what I HAD lost even when I wasnt actively dieting. How cool is that? Maybe, just maybe, at not quite 49 years old I will actually get it right this time. I want to thank every one of you who has posted on my blog with words of encouragement and encourage everyone else to keep blogging. Even if you don't feel like dieting, if you've fallen off the wagon, just drop in to say hi. You're bound to find the friend(s) and/or encouragement that you need to make that breakthrough and reach your goal.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. Hope everybody has a great evening. TTYL!!

Gotta keep blogging!
Its what has gotten me through. But I guess it doesn't work for everyone. 3 of your friends are still blogging? It looks like I'm the only one! I never see the others anymore and it's sad. Basically, I just don't want people to give up. I have slowed down on the blogging thing since I've reached my first goal, but I'll be around for a long time, I'm sure.
Keep up all of your hard work. Life gets in the way sometimes, but at every day is a new day, right?
Thanks for the great compliments on my blog last week. I appreciate it. And yes, alone time is the BEST! Its just that it's so rare.
Take care, ok? Shelley PS your music is very soothing~ And I love your checkered borders...I have no idea how to do that!
Hey, be nice to your lazy blog friends! But I totally agree that this is an incredibly motivating site, I'm really glad I found it. I just came back from a month-ish blog break, and in that time, I only lost half a pound. I stopped trying once I had no daily reminder of why I'm worth it. Well, good luck reaching your goal.
