372.0. "My Commitment to Goal" by COOKIE::WILCOX (No more new notes) Thu Nov 10 1988 11:03

I wanted to make my commitment to my goal public here and ask
for periodic words of encouragement.

I am now at 147.25 and by December 28 I will be at my goal of 137.
I have never allowed myself to reach my goal before but am positive
I will do it this time and will stay there.

Thanks,

Liz

372.1Words of Encouragement - Lets work together!USCTR2::PNOVITCHTue Nov 22 1988 12:4211
    Are you on any special program, or are you doing this on your own?
    
    I also have a goal to set by Christmas.  I'd like to loose 20 lbs.
    It is a very tough time to start (holidays!)
    
    If you've NEVER reached your goal before, this will be close to 
    impossible!
    
    Good Luck and keep us posted,
    Pam

    Nothing's impossible if you want it BAD enough!

372.3From the note authorCOOKIE::WILCOXNo more new notesWed Nov 23 1988 10:0722
Thanks for the encouragement.  I am on WW and will be for the rest
of my life.  That shouldn't sound like a "life sentence", but should
sound like a celebration because I've finally realized that is
what I need to do.  For me it's a very livable program that doesn't
deny me any of the things I love to eat (chocolate, pie, cake).

I agree, if one want's it badly enough, one can/will get it.  Note,
that I said "I never allowed myself to get to goal".  That's another
key, I know I am the only one in  control here and if I choose not
to arrive at goal, then that is my choice.  No one makes me eat, no
one makes me follow program.  No one, that is, except me!  I might
delay myself getting to goal, but I'll get there!

This file is also another key to success.  To be able to draw upon
the wisdom of people WORLD-WIDE is an incredible resource!  There
is hope here in knowing that a LOT of people have the same struggles.

Thanks again, and I hope everyone has  a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!

372.4CHOCOLATE... H E L P !USCTR2::PNOVITCHWed Nov 23 1988 10:5518
    Liz,
    
    I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too.
    
    I just joined "The Diet Center" Tuesday.  So far I like it
    but I know the Holidays will be REALLY tough, cause I like 
    chocolate too! 
    
    THis is the first "pay for" diet I've ever been on.  All others
    that I've tried I just gain more weight.  I do good for about a
    then I "pig out".  Hopefully, being supervised will help.
    
    Have you ever heard anything about the Diet Center?

Hi Liz, I'm just down the hall; you ever want a word of encouragement live, 
c'mon by!  And likewise, you may see my face pop around your corner.

I'll be really glad the day I don't wear these long shirts for any reason other 
than COMFORT!
