When my boys were little they loved to play with a yo-yo. It went down, bounced back, they could yo-yo to each side and finally up in the air.
The yo-yo returned to the point of beginning.
My weight has been like that. From where I started in January, I have lost, regained, lost to the previous point, regained, now I am at that previous point again.
Today, I am disgusted with the results of the scale. What should I do to be proactive?
Recently, I applied the law of renewing my mind to driving across a mountain pass.
I said Mind:
- delete the message that I don’t like to drive across the pass,
- insert I have done this a million times ( I haven’t)
- also,mind, I LOVE to drive the pass. Well, hmmmmmmmmm,
- I drove to Boise and crossed the pass with no problem.
Now, I am declaring a renewing of my mind to allow my appetite to return to the normal thus allowing my weight to follow.
Me, myself and I are doing well eating Vegan food. My son, Kris is a participant.
Come along with me,
Molinda
I can answer the cause of the “yo-yo effect” in one word: Diets.
I think the new plan is a smart one because it is a lifestyle change as opposed to a diet that you eventually abandon after a few days, weeks or months.
I have no idea at this point if I will continue a vegan (or even vegetarian) lifestyle, but there are some things I am learning that will be a benefit for the rest of my life.
I am learning to enjoy salads
I am learning that I can make good meals without using butter or any type of animal fat
I am learning that I physically feel better when I don’t constantly shove fast food in my face.
I have learned that if you make time for an evening walk, you will sleep better that night and therefore feel better in the morning.
I’m happy to be a part of this experiment and think we’ll both be better people for it 🙂
Kris, Thank You for the reply! I didn’t realize you were reading the blog!
The learning curve for cooking is amazing! I am convinced that I will never go back to the old lifestyle, since I feel so much better.
