Difficult Days
I thought it would be easy to lose weight during the summer, especially with more activity. But I rather long for the school year to begin so that I can go back to eating my breakfast, lunch, and supper with little or no time in between 
for snacks. Time and food is much looser during the summer, there are more family get-togethers, and it is difficult to avoid food. I can’t say it has been a total wash-out, I haven’t gained any weight, but I have only lost about two pounds. I tell myself it is a long term process and this is okay – this is my life long plan, but it is frustrating! My kids are not helpful when they come home and want to make Puppy Chow and various ice cream desserts! So my son, Taylor, suggested I take a classic weight loss picture holding up an old pair of pants to cheer me up. Here I am holding up my size 18 pants! It does make me feel better seeing my progress, and I am motivated to continue on my journey.
