Comments on: Miracles of the Scale http://dietpulpit.com/532/miracles-of-the-scale-29/ Blogging with Fattiude! Don't be a fool, eat for fuel. Hallelujah! Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:28:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: John http://dietpulpit.com/532/miracles-of-the-scale-29/comment-page-1/#comment-222 John Sun, 28 Oct 2007 15:02:22 +0000 http://dietpulpit.com/532/miracles-of-the-scale-29/#comment-222 Thank you so much for the work you do with this site and for the inspiration that you serve to all of those 'fighting the battle'. I sincerely hope that I have a chance to meet you 'in the real world' someday. I have had more than a couple people comment on my start date (12/22/06) and its proximity to the worst dietary period of the entire year. I had run into one of my on-again, off-again Weightwatchers buddies at the grocery store. She asked why she hadn't seen me at the group, I gave a lame, "I'll restart after the New Year". She replied with the fateful words, "Why wait"? Why indeed? Yes, the New Year is a good time to turn over a new leaf, and many people are successful in their plans, but some aren't. I believe that the only thing you get out of starting a diet/exercise program in January is frustration. Frustration at the overcrowded gyms and WW meetings. And discouragement from the knowledge that 70% of those people will fail, just like you have. So why bother? Start today! There are 64 days left of 2007... you'll have a (to paraphrase a tremendous blog) 64 Day Head Start on the NEW YOU! If you can make it through the next 64 days, you can most definitely make it through a piddly month like March. Why Wait? Thank you so much for the work you do with this site and for the inspiration that you serve to all of those ‘fighting the battle’. I sincerely hope that I have a chance to meet you ‘in the real world’ someday.
