Feeling Fragile

As I was scrolling through my TIVO last night deleting recorded shows I was deleting Oprah because she takes off in the summer and repeats are shown and since I've seen them all I just deleted the repeats. I thought to myself she'll be back on in mid-September and I usually look forward to that because she usually has a great theme going. I thought back to the New Year and her "Best Life" series. She kicked off the series talking about her weight gain over the past year or so and talked about how she couldn't believe she still can't get it right. How was she back here again? The truth is you never have it licked. Here she is a billionaire with unlimited resources; trainers, chefs, nutrionist, weight loss experts. If she can't keep it off I'm doomed for sure. I have to remember to take it one day at a time. You can never relax and so "Oh I got this!" You just can't because you must stay focused all the time. If you don't focus you are doomed to repeat the terrible habits that got you overweight in the first place. As I have said before I am so fearful of slipping into old habits. I have to write this out to see the words on the screen to keep me focused. I am out of town this weekend and have my workout clothes packed so I can workout at the fitness center at the hotel. Staying focused on your goals doesn't take a vacation always stay mindful of your goals and own them!
