Morning everyone,

The sun is shining, the birdies are mooing and the cows are tweeting and life is going along rather well!

Today I read a rather insightful posting over at 3FatChicks.com . The title of the thread is, When does this become “normal”? My contributions included:

…I realized this way of life became normal to me last weekend when I gave myself permission to cheat (and put 4 Reeses peanut butter cups in the freezer, waiting for me!) and at the appointed time realized, gosh, I really had no desire for them.

At first, believe it or not, it was a let-down, because I had been planning that cheat all week! And then I realized, omigosh, I must have turned the key in my mind that my current eating style is now normal for me ….MORE…

However, there are many more posts that have equally if not more so, insightful glances into ‘when this becomes normal. I just read:

…I’m one of those who has lost hundreds of pounds over the past 20 years or so only to gain it back and then some. This time around, I’m not doing anything I can’t live with for a lifetime. Basically I’m eating a balanced diet and exercising and the weight is coming off. I can honestly say I’m not eating in a manner that I can’t continue with for the rest of my life, I haven’t really felt deprived this time around.. …MORE….

I think communities like the above really help show dieters and people on a get-healthy journey that they’re not alone! No miracle weight loss cure exists….it’s truly a hero’s journey for each person who successfully manages to change their lifestyle and turn the key ON to HEALTH.

Enjoy,

Barbara
