I'm A Schizophrenic, And So Am I

I just couldn't resist using that title after Heather's latest post. Thank you Bill Murray for those timeless words...

So, I read an article in January's issue of Glamour magazine about Getting To Your Happy Weight. It resonated with me. A person could lose all the weight in the world and still not be happy with themselves. It brings up some points for discussion such as: What is my real weight goal? Is it attainable? Will I be able to maintain it? And once I get there, then what?

I bring this up because I think it's a really good article, but also because I know Heather has been feeling frustrated about what SHE perceives as lack of progress. I don't know about you, but Heather is MY hero. Always working out (and enjoying it which is the key)! Reading about eating, learning and then putting it into practice (also key). I don't think, I KNOW (because I saw her recently) that she looks great. And it's not just because of a new haircut or a leaner waist, it's because she's happy and excited and about her new journey with Peter. I don't mean to be corny or mushy, but it's true.

That said, my advice to you my darling Heather, is to go back and think about your goal (tiny bikini) and how you want it to look and then how you're going to get there. Is the number on the scale the important? Is how the bikini fits important? If you look great, does it matter how much you weigh? And make sure you're eating enough with all of the exercise you're doing. Don't short-change your energy level.

Now, I'm off to sit on the couch and snuggle up with my hubby. GOOD NIGHT! : - )
