... I had a friend at work who has been doing weight watchers tell me today, when I asked her how she was doing, 'I've decided I need to take a week off to get myself together' then go off plan and just try to eat healthier. As she walked back to her desk, with the bag of cheetoos in her hand, I thought...
TAKE A WEEK OFF???? That's not the way it works. You are either committed and you do it, or you fail. I immediately thought to myself, Oh MY GOD.. that sounds so harsh, but.. then I thought, you know what.. the reality of being fat is harsh, it drives a persons soul into the ground, and she want's to take a week off, to go back to that?
Needless to say, I was a bit frustrated, and didn't know what to say to her. Finally I said, 'Well, you need to find something that works for you and stick to it, that's the only way the weight is going to come off.'
If I have learned anything at all in the last 4 months it's that you have to be committed and not make excuses to 'fall off the truck'. There are no excuses. Nothing should be as important if you really want to be thin again, than staying the course. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT!
Eating healthier is what a diet plan is all about...she missed the boat, it's just not her time. Or maybe she isn't enlightened enough to move forward. Some never get it. I'm so glad WE DID!!! :) see you tomorrow!
