I am guilty of impulse shopping when I go to the grocery store. I’m buying more fruits and vegetables at the Farmer’s Markets, meats at a local specialty store, but I still have to go to the grocery store. There’s just no way around it. One of my goals this past year has been to [...]

Getting Back On Track – The Time Is NOW!
by Cathy on 23. Jul, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
Do you put off your goals? We pick out some magical date in the future to get back on track. Actually, I should change that “we” to ME! I’m raising my hand as in that is what I tend to do. There is no magic in putting off getting back on track. Sometimes it seems [...]
You Are What You Do
by Cathy on 22. Jul, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
Whether your goal is weight loss and maintenance, arriving at the office 15 minutes early to improve job performance, having a happier relationship, consistency is extremely important. I used to get a jolt of motivation, walk rapidly for miles and then the next day it would hurt to breathe!! Of course, I would quit and [...]
Overwhelmed?
by Cathy on 21. Jul, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
“Divide each difficulty into as many parts as necessary to resolve it.” – Rene Descartes One of my triggers for emotional eating is feeling overwhelmed? It goes way back as to why it was a trigger and why it still is today. When I feel overwhelmed, I feel as though there isn’t anything that I [...]
Don’t Quit!
by Cathy on 20. Jul, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
I’ve kept this poem for a long time. I saw it a couple of years ago and it has given me lots of motivation and inspiration. I talked with a someone recently that was frustrated with a weight regain and I shared it with her. She loved it so I wanted to share here too: [...]
A Slip-Up Isn’t A Fall
by Cathy on 19. Jul, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
I made a couple of food choices that upon reflection I wish I hadn’t. No big deal but not what I’d planned. Actually, it isn’t necessarily the choices but the way and reason. I ate because I was overly hungry but more it was the reason I ate. I ate over a situation and out [...]
Body Image and Self-Esteem
by Cathy on 14. May, 2010 in Believe In Yourself!
I’ve been all messed up on the issue of body image and self-esteem for much of my life. If my body happened to be in the losing weight mode, my self-esteem (or what I perceived was self-esteem) was high. If I was on the up mode of eating out of control and gaining weight, my [...]
Reasons to Stay On Track (or Get Back On Track)
by Cathy on 06. May, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
There are some days that I breeze through and you couldn’t force feed me a Krispy Kreme donut, and other days I would drive for hours for just a bite. It is strange to me sometimes but I’ve learned to accept it. I enjoy the days when my commitment to my healthy habits is rock [...]
Weight Loss Purpose Statement, Part 5
by Cathy on 03. May, 2010 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
When I started this project, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. It is quite a deep subject that has taken me some time to give it the thought and consideration it deserves. I really want this to be something meaningful that will help me and be a substantial tool to combat emotional eating. [...]
