View permanent weight loss as a process, not an event.

Most great achievements are the result of hard work and a designated plan of action. As they are often time consuming, progress is made in small, purposeful steps.

The same is true concerning permanent weight loss. It's not just going to happen. Through a process you create and execute, you are infinitely more likely to succeed in all your endeavors. Save the "events" for birthdays and celebrations, and view permanent weight loss as a process of making a plan, and then, each day, doing the next right thing.

Action for the day: Today, simply do the next right thing. Whenever you have a decision to make, whether it's what to eat or what to do after work, do the next right thing.

    I was diagnosed in July 2009 with Type 2 Diabetes. I was trying to keep my food logged along with my daily blood sugar checks on a manual excel spreadsheet.

    This website is so much better!! I plan to print off my sheets and show to my doctor at the end of this month. I am down about 25 pounds since last summer and I understand better now that it is about lifetime changes rather than a "diet."

    Thank you "My Fitness Pal" for helping me make my changes easier!
