Most of the things on your list are about the progress part of the journey, like dropping pounds and fitting into new sizes. And what I'm learning after nine months of being consistently on track is that that kind of fun loses its novelty after awhile. The REAL key is to find your fun in something else entirely -- that's not pigging out or over-indulging AND is not just losing weight or seeing progress. <br /><br />Just my two cents! :)Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153590782817733949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-49457851342880889672009-08-14T07:47:48.972-05:002009-08-14T07:47:48.972-05:00i will take your fun list as well. another thing ...i will take your fun list as well. another thing that is fun is realizing that by not going out to eat you saved a good bit of money.Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873738621298760605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-47228022841545071442009-08-14T04:46:24.077-05:002009-08-14T04:46:24.077-05:00man, i definitely miss those things! i blog about...man, i definitely miss those things! i blog about them all the time, as you know. but i agree. ive had to make quite a few conscious decisions about not going out to dinner or to the bar. i now make these things a special treat, rather than something im entitled to. its hard work to stay in the area of not being overweight, and for many others, its easy. however, i think the results you cant see- good blood levels, low cholesterol, fit body (that may still be overweight, but i always stress that one can be overweight and still be fit) are better than always giving in to these desires.saoirsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598157736818254353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-21543470093594917962009-08-13T23:43:30.383-05:002009-08-13T23:43:30.383-05:00Fun is getting a catty look from a woman whose boy...Fun is getting a catty look from a woman whose boyfriend just gave you a once over.
