Honesty about Weight Loss

Seems like the last two weeks I have been just "sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time" as the song goes.

First week at Weight Watchers I was so gun ho ! Lost 6 lbs and was thrilled with my progress. Then life happened. Melanie went into hospital, I spent two days eating on the run, and somehow, I just lost every bit of my determination to loose weight. Fell right back into my bad habits. Even went so far as to miss a few days exercising. Week 2, I stayed the same, today was my 3rd weigh in and I gained an entire pound. Went out for Chinese buffet last night and then did a stupid thing, worked out before Weight Watchers, which pumps up the muscles and can show a weight gain. Sounds like a reasonable excuse for my weight gain anyway.
So here I am today, back in the saddle as we say here in Texas. Back on track.
It seems so tiring to break old bad habits. It takes work and more work. Lots of enthusiasm too and I guess the goal has to be powerful. I have all the tools around me, supportive family, mottos hung on the wall, good food, exercise equipment in the same room as this computer, and a full length mirror that shows reality. But still it takes work to stay on track.
Got myself one more diet book, "The Biggest Loser".
It was on sale at the grocery store, right next to the bakery. I liked what I read but still, there is no magic pill, its work, hard work. I remember reading in a Buddhist book once, that all beginnings are hard.
Yup, tis true but have to think that the end results will be one major pay off.

My feet, last sunday as I sat on the dock, but wasn't wasting time, just enjoying it
