Two days in a row!

I’ve done 30 minutes on my elliptical trainer each day for two days in a row. It’s a start. The 50 millionth start. I need to start measuring my success in how quickly I get back on the wagon rather than how long I actually stay on it. My last successful ride was a year long so I shouldn’t be too disappointed, however, I have spent the past year falling off and getting back on.

I’m trying to remain positive and using renewed energy and better health as my motivation for staying on track rather than getting thin. I sound like a broken record, I know, and we all know it’s not about dieting, etc. My biggest challenge is exercising my mind and really visualizing a different me, one who doesn’t feel addicted to food.

I’ve also been having a difficult time writing on this blog for a while (and reading others) because I haven’t wanted to focus on the food/diet and the weight. I suppose for the similar reason they don’t want you to talk about food when you’re at Overeaters Anonymous (the ones I went to anyway.) I’ve just been trying to focus on living my life like a normal person with so many other priorities (or they should be priorities.)

I guess, I’m clinging to the hope that writing here, even if it has been sparse lately will help.
