/ What Should I eat for lunch today????

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I wondered where you had gone. Glad to hear you're still here! I'm sorry

you're struggling with this time of year, but at least you're treading water.

That, in my opinion, is much better than sinking to the bottom!

I'm not sure that I'm the one to give you advice for how to get that inner

motivation you need. Motivation seems to come from nowhere.... or not come at

all. Others on this list have suggested going back to the Getting Started

booklet...it seems that it's very common to lose enthusiasm and just need to

read

about it again, to be reminded of how it all works. Of course, I could ask

you --- Are you counting? Measuring? Journaling? If so, good. Then maybe you

need to look at *what* you're eating (too many refined carbs? Not enough

protein? Too many Smart Ones cones?) And if not, why not. We know the program

works when we do those three things!!

Gosh, I'm beginning to sound like your mother. Or my mother. Somebody's

mother! LOL --Sorry about that. I guess my bottom-line advice is DON'T give

up!

Take a fresh look, forget the " reasons " why this is a hard time for you and

get OP!!

As for me, for some reason I've been struggling with hunger this week. I

can't think of anything specific that has changed in how I work the program...so

maybe it's just one of those things. I hate " those things. " I'd much rather

have a tangible cause that I can attack with vigor!

Hugs. Hang in there!
