Roller Coaster Weight Loss

Learning to eat right and actually doing it are not always the same. I have all kinds of knowledge, but for some reason I don't always put it into practice. And it's been happening again. Why? I've got all kinds of things going on. I'm excited because company is coming. Lots of company. Not all of them are staying with us, but some are. It does require extra work, but that part doesn't bother me. It's my attitude toward eating that bothers me. I'm excited and I have a lot to do. What better reason for putting aside healthy eating practices? It's so much easier to eat quick junky things...or is it. I mean really, how much harder is it to grab a healthy granola bar over a cookie? To make a smoothie instead of a milk shake?

When I logically stand back from it all, it is so easy to see when I make excuses. And who suffers from it? Me, my waistline., my health. I've lost some of the ground I've made, recently but don't plan to keep going this direction. For me eating right is a roller coaster ride, and for some reason gaining weight is so much easier like wildly speeding down a steep hill, while losing it is more like that slow climb to the top of the hill.
