Very few can pull it off-- and in my opinion, if they can, perhaps they're not wired like you and me...<br />Thank you, Rosie! :)Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-83248204377250897952015-03-25T14:40:10.572-05:002015-03-25T14:40:10.572-05:00I remember, as I approached goal during my initial...I remember, as I approached goal during my initial weight loss, making plans to have a huge goal hitting party...a grand celebration of my "arrival" at goal. Geez. So glad I didn't have that party! I suppose I did effectively "party" during relapse and regain... Yeah... <br />You illustrate perfectly why we must always remain diligent-- always aware and always practicing the elements of our recovery.<br />Those sucker punches hurt.Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-48986822155633154852015-03-25T14:31:28.145-05:002015-03-25T14:31:28.145-05:00Oh, Nancy, hard won lesson, indeed.

Those stumbles are like nudges toward the truth...this takes an on going commitment in taking extraordinary care...the benefits are worth every effort we make, IMO.<br />We have wonderful victories along the way, but I'll never make the mistake of adopting the "okay-did that, I win--victory is mine" attitude.

I'm not a natural exercise kind of person. In order for me to remain consistent, I know for sure--I must always enjoy it--I must make it fun, in whatever way. I don't like hard, miserable and grueling... Not to say I don't like or want a great workout, I do-- I just want it to be enough fun, I don't even notice how strenuous.Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-21805729267204256222015-03-25T14:09:44.903-05:002015-03-25T14:09:44.903-05:00"Cocky attracts Karma" LOVE LOVE LOVE t..."Cocky attracts Karma" LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I'm stealing it for my FB post! <br /> One can never declare victory on our life long adventure. It just can not happen. I don't know to many people who could...and yet the ones that do always seem to be back at square one. <br />The mentality is that you lose the 5/10/100 lbs you have to and declare that victory only to find that your pants are getting tighter and tighter because victory is only for a split second........ and here goes the ramble again..! <br /> Great post! <br /> Rosie JazzyMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882613579980813443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-45771108885666400442015-03-25T10:15:30.189-05:002015-03-25T10:15:30.189-05:00One of the things I've learned along this road...<b><i>One of the things I've learned along this road is to never declare total victory.</i></b><br /><br />As soon as I read that I had a vision of a certain president standing under a "mission accomplished" sign. :)<br /><br />You're right, there is no such thing as total victory.10 years ago I quit smoking.

I reached the charts goal weight! I was rewarded (for my cocky attitude) with a full regain plus an additional 130 pounds. The staying humble has been a hard won lesson.<br />N~Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974637924017084550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-69861317585229613882015-03-25T08:17:42.109-05:002015-03-25T08:17:42.109-05:00SO SO SO TRUE Sean!!!

Humble is key, I am so grateful for being basically able to stay in control for over 5 years, with some stumbles along the way. Those stumbles are what make me realize I will never be DONE. So even though I cannot claim victory, I do feel like a winner!!!dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-79370683128414214132015-03-25T07:02:11.859-05:002015-03-25T07:02:11.859-05:00You need to try fried tilapia in those tacos!
