So, I took off the last two weeks from dieting and exercise. While I could lay out a million different excuses, the truth is I was tired. Tired of working out, tired of trying to lose weight, just tired.

So, I took a break. I didnt think about losing weight, I didnt even try. And so, what happened? I gained 2.2 lbs. I am actually pretty happy that even with the visitors and big meals, I didnt jump up 5 lbs or more. Yeah for me!

At the end of last week, I was introduced to Anita Lopez by Rich Grote. Together they have come up with a concept centered around changing thought patterns and habits in 120 days. I am one of their first clients.

Starting today, I will focus on their 120 day plan. Of course, I will write about it and comment on it. The first thing that I have to work on is portion control. To this end, Anita has asked me to visualize a portion (a meal or snack) as being a fistful of food all chewed up. I never thought about it like that. I am interested in seeing how it goes…

  • Cool blog. I had never heard of "fatblogging" until now. Noticed you signed up for ID. Interested in testing the comments on your blog?
  • Awesome! I look forward to seeing you do the program, and jumping on it myself!
  • Hey Micah, weight management doesn't have to be challenging. I'm sure Rich and Anita will steer you in the right direction. If you perceive there to be a problem, then your brain will react to it as a problem. ;-)
