I have been working on my own journey for the last 6 months and it is encouraging when I happen upon someone else who is going through the same victories and battles that I am.

Your anniversary video and the letter above are a motivation to me and, I hope you don't mind, but I am going to start a journey of my own just like yours. Like you I have trouble with self-accountability and my boyfriend is NOT HELPING! He's a junk food junky and he is filled with bad ideas and temptation suggestions because, deep down I think that he is afraid to see me succeed. So I am going to start my own blog, I'm 287 lbs so I'm calling it "Rejecting 300" because 300 is where I will be if I don't do something now before it's too late. I hope you won't mind my copying your method but I honestly think that the daily blog like you've done here will be the best way for me to make weight loss and health a daily routine as opposed to a once-a-month emotional addiction.Rejecting 300http://rejecting300.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912463842779590235.post-80739734055817672062010-09-27T00:37:04.882-07:002010-09-27T00:37:04.882-07:00Thank you for sharing your tips.

I am always happy to share and of course I don't mind you passing it on! :)<br /><br />Lavenderdiva, I think that where I am at right not would be called a plateau. I am temporarilly maintaining for my sanity's sake, but have plans to try and loss a bit more come August. I have been bouncing around within this ten or so pounds for the past three and a half months. (Wow! Is it really that long?) Anyhow, my point is that I am just sort of chipping away still, making mistakes, but mostly continuing with what I know works. I think I will figure it out eventually through a combination of using my tried and true meathods, a few new alternatives (mixing things up), and rediscovering my motivation. As far as tiring of dieting goes, I actually don't consider myself to be on one. I have drastically changed my eating habits, but I tend to associate the word 'diet' with something that is not permanent. I do, however, occassionally tire of eating 'well' and so I indulge in the things I used to enjoy much more frequently. Now, though, I eat such items as a treat (though right now the fairly regular ice cream intake is throwing me for a bit of a loop). I think that if someone is struggling with losing weight once they have hit a roadblock the best thing to do is carefuly reevaluate. What has snuck into the food intake that wasn't there before? How is the exercise program truly coming along? Are parts of the journey seeming unappealing and what's the best way to find determination despite such setbacks? I am going through exactly that right now and - for me - needed to take July off from focusing on weight loss because I am simply too busy to be worrying about it. Hopefully, in August, I will have better personal experiences to get through the plateau which I can share with all of you!266https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170707764904423302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912463842779590235.post-2826967236816169382010-07-20T18:58:58.766-07:002010-07-20T18:58:58.766-07:00That was nicely put.

I've shared what I worked for me, but they are still stuck. I posted your information on that post referring to this information, maybe something you've said will get them started.

You didn't seem to have many plateaus. What jumped out most was your exercise. You do something everyday, even if it is just crunches or squats. I never thought to do that on days when a long workout is not possible. Your definately an inspiration!uhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352448044334020347noreply@blogger.com
