But I've learned over the years that the GUARANTEED way to set myself up for disappointment and frustration is to make a goal with a fixed number. <br /><br />My progress has never been a straight line down. Always lots of ups and downs, for lots of reasons other than overeating. Hormones, sodium surges, variation in exercise, constipation due to meds, not drinking enough water... lots of variation!<br /><br />I don't directly control the number on the scale. I do INDIRECTLY influence it, by my choices. And those choices are measurable. Therefore, I find it much more encouraging and empowering to make my goals and challenges based on those things over which I have DIRECT control... those choices.<br /><br />But then, others might really enjoy a numbers challenge, and find it motivating. To each his/her own. :-)<br /><br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-38643271599583990602010-08-26T14:31:53.663-07:002010-08-26T14:31:53.663-07:00Sorry about the surgery news, but glad you found t...Sorry about the surgery news, but glad you found the positive in it.
