Remember what happens to drops in the bucket? If you drop water into a bucket, one drop at a time from an eyedropper, it will get full. It will be boring to sit there dropping that water one drop at a time. It will be hard because you'd rather do something else-like grab a hose and fill it quickly, but one drop at a time does get the bucket full. And while a hose works better for buckets of water, drops are much healthier for weight loss.<BR/><BR/>You can do it. I'd suggest that you see if your doctor would prescribe a trip to a nutritionist to help you deal with the cravings and figuring out the best way to manage your food, taking your individual preferences and health into consideration.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736694155016381228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20491753.post-45536198373200014872007-11-02T18:08:00.000-05:002007-11-02T18:08:00.000-05:00Pray for strength for just one day, or just one ho...Pray for strength for just one day, or just one hour, or just one minute, at a time. That's what I'm struggling with right now, at 6 p.m. on a Friday while I fight the despair. I have to think of JUST THIS MINUTE staying "sober" from the cravings that are calling me to do the things that would literally kill me at this point. <BR/>It's not easy, believe me. It would be so easy to get in my car and visit my old places and fall into my old behaviors. So very, very easy. <BR/>Five pounds is a wonderful start. Wonderful! Hang on to the hope that comes with that loss -- this is a REAL beginning. Five pounds does not seem like much, but you won't get to 20 pounds without that first five.<BR/>Stay strong, stay here with us, and pray.Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405956286050242058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20491753.post-72474766604111789772007-11-02T10:33:00.000-05:002007-11-02T10:33:00.000-05:00We can do this--we need to learn to quit looking a...We can do this--we need to learn to quit looking at the whole elephant and concentrate on taking it a bite at a time. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
