Making Blogging worthwhile

Since starting my blog in December I have received formative feedback along the way.  People have told me about their success with weight loss, triumph finding physical activities they enjoy, and I have seen first hand people making changes in their daily lives.  I have seen people carrying cooler bags and strategically planning their meals in advance.  I support all of these changes! I am proud of everyone who has vowed to make healthy lifestyle changes. Even if that change is small, we all need to start somewhere.  We can’t expect to change overnight.  Change is a process that we must practice everyday.  It is something we must work towards.

I would like to share some feedback I have received since starting my blog.  Your comments and e-mails of recent success makes blogging worthwhile.  Thanks for sharing :-)

“When I was thinking what to eat after I ate my dinner, I was thinking something else, fruitcake, but then I thought…I will try the apple, with the low fat cool whip, and I did enjoy it. The crumble urge still is there, but I do know what I have to do, and like you, when I do treat myself, I will do it in moderation – I hope LoL”

“I have spent many years and much $$$$ getting educated in the field of health and nutrition and at times I have even lived it. I have tried to keep up with current trends and have investigated almost all of the “tried and true” weight loss clinics. I have determined that bottom line for these organizations is $$$$$$$$. I have certainly contributed to their collective cause. Having said that I do give some credit to their efforts. The most important thing I’ve learned in my time is that nothing ever really changes.... you might say.... there is nothing new under the sun. Fruits and vegetables, grains and nuts and seeds have always been the best choices. All we need to do to prove that is to make these choices habit. I have always known it but was so easily distracted with “life.” That’s another thing I learned...in order to get those good habits to a point where they are second nature we need to be a little selfish. I don’t think I can come up with any more excuses. My time is pretty much my own now so out of need to get healthy and start feeling my best I have decided to go for it. I have even decided to start moving more. I am not a physical person, which I think you probably already guessed. I am determined to do what you recommended in your blog and that is to find an activity that “I enjoy” and do it regularly.”

“So you know, yesterday was 22 visits in January to Curves, and 9.26 lbs for the month!  Not bad for baby steps.  My jeans are actually too big now, and my tops are much looser and more comfortable.”
