I wanted to thank justjuliebean for sending me to this blog. I did some reading today and I came across this entry and it really hit home for me today.
The 5 P's of weight loss.
Practice - remember the "Moonlight Sonata" example. We get better at the things we work on. I consider this to be the most important "P."
Persistence - just keep going. We lose weight when we just keep keepin' on, no matter what, no matter how badly our day, or week, or month has gone.
Progress - expect to make progress over time, as you practice and persist. Not necessarily immediately . . . remember that our bodies have their own wisdom. Don't rush the process. After all, you're going to be on this program (or something much like it) the rest of your life, if you want to keep the weight off.
Patience - what I said about progress over time, double. Don't be in a hurry. You'll get there. I took 2.5 years to finally get to goal. But I'm there now, so the time it took me is totally unimportant. And I got plenty of practice along the way.
Perfection (scratch that) - like I said, fuggedaboudit. Ain't a-gonna happen.
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by to perv on my blog, as I fight myself to change my old habits and make new ones to get fit. I don't get it right all the time, but I'm still here and I'm still working at it.
Tamzins Double Dog Dare You Ticker!
My homage to the 14lbs that I lost on Allan’s DDDY Challenges. A watering can for the vast oceans of water that I have learned to drink and love every day.

I like those 5 P's --except for perfection.
I am a recovering perfectionist. The only thing I strive to be perfect with now is imperfection. ;-)
hugs, healing vibes, well wishes
Just catching up with your blog after you have been away. I think you have been doing brilliantly considering you are still getting over surgery. You are still keeping the mindset and habits going which is half the battle. Well done! Oh, and thanks for the link - looks good.
Tsk, meant to say catching up after I had been away (not you!) - arrgh!
I'm glad you like that blog, there is really great wisdom written there. I'm bummed she doesn't write anymore, but glad she moved on to the rest of her life. Hopefully it'll be automatic and second nature for all of us one day.
