hello Bobbi
I just read your post and I am misty eyed. Thank you so very much for such awesome appreciation. You are right on about seeing the success as lots more than the scale which varies from day to day. I love your post also as you are wonderfully supportive. This is a life journey so treating ourselves and others well is a daily practice.
Is the 4th of july far enough out for our next goal?
What about goals other than weight loss if someone choozes to take more steps or strengthening or flexibility. Even finding some walking buddies locally or taking a dance class or increasing take care of self time? How about add more veggies to food intake. (Notice I didn't say diet since that implies deprivation to some people. Maybe because I'm 2.9 lbs from my MD goal I'm thinking about a way of being to last a life time. At night when I tend to be hungry after returning from dance classes I have been filling up on 2.5 cups of frozen veggies with just a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and lemon pepper. And a huge glass of water and later herbal tea without caffeine. Maybe a few almonds. I love veggies raw and cooked lightly and beans so it is not a deprivation diet.. It was great on Friday at a dance they had 2 cakes, potato chips and water with strawberries in it. I had the water and looked at those cakes as the Diabetes highway. It is funny and neat that we change the way we see things so completely.
Well let's do a july 4th goal.
Sending you Bobbi and all the wonderful MD friends hugs and appreciation.
