Why No Weight Loss Updates?
For those of you who regularly read this blog, you may have been wondering why I have not been posting my weekly weight loss updates as I was doing, and as I said I would. So here’s my explanation.
As you may remember, I have not been very consistent in my weight loss efforts. I have gone “on and off the wagon” (as my fellow weight watcher buddy and I like to put it) so many times over the past few months that I can’t even count (actually, this has been going on ever since I had my youngest child who is now 21 months old!) .
Honestly, I get tired of sounding like a broken record when I am giving updates. “This week, doing great” and then back to “not doing so good” the next week over and over is embarassing, and I don’t think it is helping you to read it, either.
It is not that I have given up on my weight loss goals. In fact, right now I am back on track and hopeful. But I have decided that before I include you readers on my journey, I need to get a little time under my belt, experience some success, and develop some confidence in this area of my life again. After all, you can’t help anybody else unless you can help yourself, right?
This doesn’t mean that weight loss is never going to be the topic of discussion. It only means that I am no longer committing myself to update you every week on my progress. Maybe someday I will start again, but right now just isn’t the time.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Oh boy, do I understand how you feel about this one. I did exactly the same thing two years ago - I was posting weekly about my postpartum quest to lose weight and um, well, it got repetitive (and stressful, since I hated posting anything other than “Yippee! I lost another (two) pound(s) this week.”). I just want to wish you good luck and hope that in a few months or however long it takes you to reach your goal weight, that I’ll be reading an “I DID IT!” post

CFO,
Thank you for your encouragement… I also look forward to the day I can write an I DID IT post! Out of the blue, just when everybody is least expecting it… (aside from those who see me on a regular basis LOL)
BTW I checked out your blog… I think I may have found a new favorite!
Thanks again for your comment. I hope to see you back again!

I know what you mean, Brooke! I started a “walking challenge” and really got off to a great start. Then the in-laws came, their luggage blocked my treadmill and we ate out nearly every night. They left and I am having a hard time getting re-motivated.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article o Weight Loss Updates? Advice on Marriage, Life and More : Plain Advice, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
