Whistle whilst you work.
Losing weight for me this time is not so much about the goal - though that is an integral part of the direction I am heading in (and woe the scale if it should go in the wrong direction), but it is about the journey. Past weight loss attempts, some successful and some not, were all attacked at a frenetic pace and all sorts of short cuts taken to achieve the end result. The problem was they never addressed the bigger issue of ME. The last two weeks have probably been the happiest I have been in months perhaps even years. I mean, I am a very positive person, love to have a laugh, and generally never ever in a bad mood but over the past few months I found myself getting into some rather dark patches. I believe now it had a lot to do with the weight I was and in large part due to a loss of self. The decisions I have made about me and my body over the last two weeks have given me such a tremendous lift and feeling of power. It is a feeling I am loathe to give up and it is this part of the journey that convinces me that I will stay on till the end and beyond... There is one side effect however to my new found continuous happiness. Apparently I am too happy in the mornings and it is driving everyone at work mad! My boss even asked me to go for a little walk yesterday as he could not get his head around my humming, whistleing and singing (if you heard me singing you would understand). Oh well, so is my world at the moment. Now, how does the tune to "Tiptoe in the Tulips" go...
Wow - I love your positive and happy attitude. I think successful weight loss comes when you get your head around it right and you obviously have that side of things under control

Hi there, just found your note.....you can only get them from meetings or buy them from the WW website =( probably just as well for me as the temptation isn't as great but if you want to try them I would suggest popping into a meeting and buying some. you have to buy them in bulk from the website I think...that would only spell trouble for me but you sound more "with it" =)
