When I started this blog, I was studying some principles of change from Dr Phil McGraw. He can be annoying to some, I know. But that doesn't mean the principles aren't true and useful!
Over the years, I've tried all sorts of approaches. The last one, focusing on my art, turns out to NOT be the answer either. As much as I'd like to not "put in my time" here, it looks like I still need to. I'm still pursuing my art, for sure. But... here I am. On THIS blog. Again. Sigh...
I haven't gained ALL the weight back that I lost since the start , but enough that I'm skeered: 349.
So... I'm starting over, taking a refresher course, and trying to have a teachable heart.
The quotes:
"Nothing will stop you from being anything other than healthy, vibrant, in shape, and fully in charge of yourself and everything you think, do and feel. This will happen because you MAKE IT HAPPEN. It will happen because you have made the DECISION to step up and DO what it takes to have what you want." (Pg 4 of The Ultimate Weight Solution by Dr Phil McGraw; emphasis mine)
"For I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13 New Living Translation Bible)
My thoughts:
I've found out the How, now I need to DO it.
It's not a matter of can't in my case. It's a matter of won't.
That needs to change. I get so far, then back off.
Lots of factors involved, but that's not the point.
To get what I want healthwise, I need to CHANGE.
And for me, bottomline, that's a choice.
No excuses.
