What struck me most was yo...What a great post Sean. What struck me most was your comment about finding your own personal combination for success. As I sit here with a fierce west coast storm approaching, I reflect over my own personal storms over the years regarding weight loss, and how It's taken me many years to weather them by finding my own unique way: Eating more calories than many experts would allow for weight loss (but this ensures me a slow, steady loss with minimal deprivation), counting them obsessively every day (but a healthy obsession), and moving my body. I've finally found my own combination that works for me, and I wish that for everyone..to find that piece of mind. Oh, I do count calories by using an older Weight Watchers point system that makes counting easier for me, along with the actual Weight Watchers diet structure. It took me years to get here. May it be quicker for others! If we can't do it for life, it's not OUR personal fit. Thanks again for your blog.

I wish I'd had it when I was counseling full-time...I'm betting I'll find ways to use it even now.<br /><br />AS I read about the boxes, I paused to "look" at them and was surprised by my reaction. (Which is why I know it's a good exercise.) My initial thought was that I would certainly grab the success box, but as I paused, I felt myself tense and lean away from the box just a bit. And the thought/feeling was, "What will success require of me? Am I up to success?"<br /><br />Isn't that weird? I was so surprised by that moment of felt caution before agreeing to success. And that's how it felt...agreeing to success. Like it was a decision that had to be considered rather than leaped into, one filled with pros and cons.<br /><br />I'll be thinking about that hesitation all day today, I bet.<br /><br />Thanks for this.<br /><br />DebDeb Willbefreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333025661115475404noreply@blogger.com
