Somewhere in my past blogs I think I equated having success with a new diet/lifestyle change/health program with falling in love. You are euphoric. You want everyone to share in your happiness. You think you have discovered a magic that no one else has ever experienced. You are on a high that carries on into other areas of your life. Sound familiar? The trick is to keep that feeling going. There has been many books written about having to put time and energy into maintaining that certain “zing” in a relationship. It’s a struggle. Anyone that writes about how their relationship is so special with no work (in my humble opinion) is just not telling the truth. Life is full of temptations and challenges. Okay…now…let’s move on. I lost that “zing” with iChange a couple of months ago. The magic just wasn’t there like before. Was it still working for me? Oh..Yessiree…Iwas losing weight but was getting bored and I expected that high to continue and I just wasn’t getting it. Do I still believe in iChange?I sure do! Oh..what a shock! It was ME that wasn’t investing the time and energy into making the magic work for me again! You mean I have to be the one to do it? So…I didn’t have a full-fledged affair with food while iChange was caught up with more important things, but I did give in to just a bit of temptation. But…unlike other programs where I have said “been there…done that…” I am back to investing time and energy to renew my commitment to iChange. I have resisted joining the Community Support Group, preferring to converse with Linda Miner, my nutritionist, on a one to one basis. I just joined the CSG yesterday. I am going into this with the knowledge that they are not there to make it happen for me. Hopefully, they can help, but it is up to me to work to get the magic back. Let’s see what happens…
