Fisherman's Prayer: I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast,I then most humbly pray, when in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep that in His mercy I be judged BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP!

A new focus

So I went to WW today knowing I would have a gain! In the past I would have either not gone at all or would have gone to the meeting but not weigh in. Today I went and I weighed in. Yes I gained, gained 4 pounds in fact! After the meeting I was talking to a WW member her name is Jeanne. She said 5 years ago she was going through chemo and radiation for breast cancer. She said during that time she stayed on the program and worked out when her body would let her. She said during this time she gained weight. She had to realize that being cancer free had to be the focus not weight loss. She stayed on the program she said for two reasons..one it kept her healthier by eating right and two to keep in the habit of counting points. After she was cancer free the weight came off and she never felt better. Staying on the program is what helped her the most she said. My new focus for the next several weeks is not weight loss it is healthy mind and body by eating right and limiting exercise to 20 minutes on treadmill or ellipitcal each day and 20 minutes of easy strength training/pilates, focusing on stress relieve and toning body to loose inches not so much the weight.
Thought of the day from Renny at WW: Though you cant go back and make a brand new start, you can tart now and make a brand new ending~!

I am BLESSED

weighing in should not be your focus. Getting better should be your concern right now. the weight will come off, when you get your clean bill of health!
