Day 32

Are you planning your reward for Weigh In #5? I've made an appointment for a hair cut and color after the big event.
Are you exercising forty five minutes each day? Are your close friends commenting that your face looks a bit thinner?
It's great to receive positive comments from family and friends, it's like extra rewards when others acknowledge our efforts, propelling us with even firmer resolve, but it's crucial that you plan a small, or not so small reward for yourself each week.
This is the first time in my entire "trying to lose weight" life that I have stuck to a plan longer than seven days. And the reason for that is I don't feel like I am sticking to anything. This is as natural to me as breathing, or eating. Now, the exercise, I admit, is a different story. No doubt once I am out, with my arms flailing, I feel exhilarated but it is more often than not, a challenge squeezing it in. When I begin to waffle, I instantly pull up the image of me slumped over like Snuffelupagus on the table in that dimly lit examining room. That'll do it every time.
