Stop it by Starting it

I've done WW's, been to a dietician - they worked, but didn't work for me. See the thing is I know what's good for me. But I obviously live in a world of denial. I mean, why else could I watch BL and not KNOW that I was a candidate? How else could I gain 20 lbs in 6 mths. How else could I let this happen to myself, knowing full well that my family has bad DNA?

Seriously, how could I not know after my mother and my grandmother died of diabetes related complications. SERIOUSLY??

(note the tough love here)

Yes, my mother was 42 years old when she passed away. It's my subconscious fear. And yet I am defintely on the track to self destruction.

So how do I stop the resistance? Just start. And start again. And when you have an oops! Really start again.

I've restarted up with Spark. It's a tool a co-worker tuned me into almost 4 years ago. I didn't really get into it - I was doing WW at the time and that was really working for me.

But now with 3 kids, two getting into school activities, and hubby's work schedule is 12 days - there's no way I'll get to WW meetings consistently enough, and I know it was the accountability that made it work for me.

Spark has lots of great tools, and communities for just about everyone. Lots of good ways to stay accountable. I also found my co-worker (who has since moved on to another job). She's back in the saddle. That's a good thing, 'cause together we really kept on track.

So I have to stop this downward spiral, and that mean's starting again every day regardless of whether the day before went good or bad. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity to get healthier.
