What has worked...what hasn't....

This morning was a good test of how I need to re train my mind and my body. I'm not one to normally eat breakfast daily. And if I do have breakfast it's at 10am or so. But getting up early and needing to eat before 7:30a.m. took all my will power to do so. I did with success and the morning has started off to a positive start.

Over the last few days I've been thinking of past experiences. What "diet program" I've tried, did or didn't it work and what at that time in my life stopped me from completing it. I tried the Aultman Weightloss when I was in Middle/High School. I did the grapefruit diet, the atkins diet, thin and healthy (an Indiana thing), weight watchers and just plan not eating on a daily bases-thinking that was a good thing. The whole time I never had the drive, determination and the will power to see it through. The only semi success I had was weight watchers-but that got old for me fast. I couldn't see myself counting points for the rest of my life. Though this program-like all of them have been very successful for many people. Just like the program I'm on, there will be people that it works for and those that don't. It's call the freedom of choice. :)

Work should be interesting as I sit at a desk for most of the day. Not giving into temptations of "snacking" on the wrong foods will be difficult-but at this point I have no room for "cheating" myself at this. A constant echo rings through my mind- I don't want to lose my life early because of something I could of controlled.

Curent weight loss this morning.....1 pound. (Total in 3 days = 4 pounds)
