Hi. Howzit?

Have you ever tried to lose weight and were doing great and then fell off the wagon because the whole thing just got to be too much work and falling back into old habits was just easier? Hey, me too! But not this time though. I am going to share why this time is so different as time goes on, but for today, I will give you some of my thoughts.

Let me first share a theory with you. This is my own theory, so if you do not agree with me, it is good it is not your theory. Most overweight people are virtual experts at weight loss with just very inconsistent and/or very short-lived follow-through. If you are not overweight yourself, just ask the next overweight person you meet on any mass transit commute, and they will have any number of great or even cutting edge and healthy ways to lose weight and keep it off. Here’s the rub though. Here is the hic-up in the giddy-up, as it were. Inconsistent and/or very short-lived follow through.

I have had some really great success taking weight off and even keeping it off. (For a short amount of time.) You know what is easier than watching what you eat and moving around and repeatedly lifting heavy objects? You got it! Eating whatever you want, and a lot of it sometimes, whenever you feel sad, stressed, worried or even happy. In addition, it is often easier to not move around more than you absolutely have to in your day, and to leave the heavy objects where they are. (Cause … they are safe there, and if God wanted me to lift them a bunch, he would have made them lighter and out of fry sauce.) 

Herein lies the main reason I am going to lose and keep the weight off this time. (Aside from the fact that I am overweight and according to my theory, I am an expert and losing weight.) Ever told 250 people that you were going to do something big and then not do it? Me either, and I am not going to start at this stage in my life! (Post Script. At the writing of this entry, my blog has reached 297 pageviews with visitors from 5 different countries! (Hello to my readers from all over the USA, and from Germany, Thailand, India and the Ukraine.)

Bottom line, my ego and my pride will not let me fail this time. (So I got that going for me, which is pretty sweet.) 

Last bit for today. I love when people ask me, “What diet are you using to lose all that weight?” I smile and say, “The eat less and exercise more diet. I have tried the ‘eat more and exercise less diet’, and it hasn’t worked out for me. Time to try something new.”

Also telling hundreds of people in 5 countries is worth a try as well.

Remember, if you want something different you have to do something different.

Way to go, Scuba! Keep up the good work. I joined our neighborhood gym last week. It's time that I use exercise to address all of the stress I'm feeling in my new job, and hopefully with watching what I eat a bit more, my pants will fit better. :) Looking forward to hearing about your progress in your posts!
