Lessons Learned

Finally, I am losing weight and taking control of my life. How? Weight Watchers, a treadmill, evil pictures, mirrors and common sense!

If I'm not tracking my food then I'm not on WW. So I am tracking and learning what works and what doesn't. What doesn't work? Sugar. New rule- eat the required fruits and vegetables and get enough liquids, then have a serving of a sweet, if I'm hungry. Common sense (and very French!)

Thanks to Cara and Donnie for the treadmill. It is self-powered and taking up much of the living room.

Evil pictures- the ones my mother took on vacation. I am BIG.

Mirrors- to be well-dressed one needs a full-length mirror. See what I actually look like. Elizabeth Taylor said when she was too fat she only looked in small mirrors that only showed her face.

Common sense- If you keep doing what you've done, you'll keep getting the same results. True. So I am changing what I do- what I eat and how much I move.

and be positive!

I know the French love dogs because I saw a great deal of them during our trip. But this fella, he is in the driver's seat. Did he drive? He kindly posed for this picture then went back to napping. I think he (I say 'he' because I don't know what else to say) is a wolf or wolf mix.
