Journeying On
by Karen Maleck-WhiteleyI am back to report in and write a bit about my journey of late. I have continued on the Transitions program, and at the last check in had lost about 14 pounds. I have learned some good things in the process, too - things that echo totally what Carol wrote about what makes us gain and what doesn’t. I believe we have lots of anecdotal proof for her theory about the reasons we eat driving the storage of fat on our bodies. I now really do believe this as well, and also understand in a whole new way the fact that I just need to keep returning to what works for me food-wise. I can overindulge (and totally enjoy it when I do!), take the consequences to how I feel afterwards, and go right back to cleaner, healthy eating and journey on down my healthier path. I have also found that I actually love many of the dietary changes I have made over the past year. Who would have thought I’d be eating a cup or 2 of veggies most mornings, but I am and miss it when I don’t. 
Here’s to finally starting to get it!

Karen-
So glad you posted. I just realized we were approaching our one year anniversary on this site. And while we may not be at our ultimate goals, weight-wise we have moved so much closer and have learned so much about what works for us and that is what is important. I have a feeling we will both be where we want to be soon.
