When I was rummaging through the archives for this week's "Same Old Sh*t" entry, I ran across this silly little puff-piece. I've done a few posts in this vein, and I really like them because writing them is an exercise that really makes me thing about this weight-loss journey in a completely different way.

• There’s no single right way to do it.
• It’s more fun when somebody’s doing it with you.
• The whole process is filled with a lot of moaning and groaning.
• It’s a lot more fun when you experiment.
• It’s hard to do at a restaurant.
• Sometimes, you’re just on your own.
• Size matters.
• If you don’t move and work up a sweat, you won’t see good results.
• Even if you’re only partially successful… hey, it’s still good.
• Sometimes a mirror helps.
• Getting in new pants is a big incentive.
• It can make you a little crazy.
• Eating a submarine sandwich in bed can spoil it.
• Some days you just know it’s not going to happen.
• There’s a ton of resources on the internet on the subject.
• If you do it well, the final result is spectacular.
