Off-course 90% of the time, still reach goal.

I am chaning my MFP name. My sister and I have been on numerous diets and heatlh kicks together over the years. She is 3 years older, and ever since a bike accident when she was young, she has not been able to be as mobile as she wanted. My sis recently lost a battle to cancer, and I am going to get healthy for both of us. So for my MFP friends, my name is now "healthyformeanmona". She would have loved this site! Who or what is your motivation? Was your family of origin a good example of health growing up? Where do you feel you went off course? And remember the "off-course" model--I heard airplanes are off-course 90% of the time, that they set their course and they stray so far, then correct--stray the other way, then correct---etc.. till they arrive at their goal. The trick is knowing when to correct, not staying on the straight course the entire time. That would being perfect, and none of us are.
