A new week and a new crack at things!

I was talking to my husband about my weight loss frustrations and he suggested that I think about the times when I was losing weight and go back to doing that. Well, that last time I was losing weight was when I was on the strictest phase of the diet my naturopath put me on.

I did it for six weeks last time and could have done it longer; I remember thinking that before she ‘loosened’ the diet rules.

I have decided to ‘rededicate’ myself to the stricter phase of the diet. This time, instead of six weeks, I’ll be doing it for twelve. Starting today, that means I’ll be on it until (at least) February 10th, 2009. Twelve weeks after that just happens to be my second wedding anniversary.

At this point, I don’t really have any weight loss goals in terms of numbers. I’m going for fifty pounds to lose, of course, but right now I want to concentrate on getting back on schedule, back on the do/don’t list for food and just back in the groove of really getting healthy.

Next week I have my first appointment to start addressing my hormone and weight issues. I’m quite excited about getting things taken care of because everything is so tied together – hormones, weight, fertility, etc. Start working on one and you start working on them all.

I feel like a bit of a broken record – catching my breath, slowing down, catching my breath again to start again… But I’m not giving up. That’s what I’m concentrating on: refusal to give up.
