Lost in the Middle
Lately my life has been very much like this cartoon....what started out as a good thing is out of balance right now.
I started out well......
I just sort of lost it in the middle.
I really want to finish well, but in order to do that I have to be a lot better at the middle part.
I've discovered that the middle part is important.
What's an oreo without the creamy middle double stuff? (Just two hard chocolate cookies!)
What's a sandwich without the middle stuff? Just two dry pieces of bread.
What's a book without the "middle stuff? ( Just two scenes without a plot.)
So drop some bread crumbs that I can follow.....I'm lost right now looking for a path.

Awwwww Sweety... you just need to re-establish your "want to"! When I was a sheetmetal worker - ugh... I had the job of running the plasma arc cutting table - which ran off of HUMONGOUS CO2 tanks... They were as tall as me and twice as heavy! And I had to MOVE these suckers! Everytime my CO2 ran out, I'd wander over there and move the empty (the empties were easy enough) and then TRY (and I mean TRYYY) to move this stupid full tank! And the guy who ran the big shear (who was 6'4" and weighed 4 of me) would laugh and laugh and say "All ya gotta do is WANT TO girl!" Well, believe me... I WANTED to! And I wanted to and I wanted to! And finally one day -- after trying for a million times, I was finally able to TIP that dang tank and "walk it" over to where it needed to be! I was sO proud of myself! And when I looked up, there stood Buddy, just beaming at me! He said, "I told ya... all ya had to do was WANT to!" LOL!
Now... you tell ME. What can I do to help you re-establish your WANT to? I would think that impending grandbaby would be all you'd need -- but we all know reason doesn't get the job done! There has to be sOMething though... I wish we lived nearby each other. I could SO motivate you if I was right on your block!

Boy I could not leave the bread crumbs that our Miss Melli just left even if I really TRIED HARD!!! She left so much wisdom in that post that I hope that you read it and re read it a lot!! She is so full of wisdom and I bet does not even know it!!
I wish that I could help because right now I am STUCK as you know. I know that I have not lost an inch or a lb and I could get upset too but I refuse to do that. I know that Satan has been after me really bad lately and I will not let that happen. Maybe that is what is happening to you too. I don't know.
I do agree with one other thing that Melli had to say and that is about your grandbaby. Just think about her/him. The healthier that you are for her/him the longer you will live to see them grow up to be adults. I thought about that once for myself and that helped me get into the swing of losing this weight. I just mention it because it might get you going again.
I wish that I had some really great ideas. Losing weight is one of the HARDEST things in this crazy world of ours to do...
