The Struggle Continues

I was talking to my old boss the other day.

We started Weight Watchers together, back in the day. We did good -- for a while.

Then we started slipping. My 20 pounds brought a friend back with it. I didn't ask her, but I think hers did the same.

Diets DO NOT WORK.

Losing weight is a battle we fight every day. Unfortunately, the hardest battle is the one we fight when we think the war is over.

Maintenance is where many of us fall down. Somehow, that inner donkey that stubbornly believes that we can go right back to the same habits, manages to get control of our emotions and our eating again. And thus we again fail in the Battle of the Bulge.

Getting down to our natural weight isn't easy. Staying there is even harder.

Persist. Persist. Persist.

We can do this together.
