Worra, Worra, Worra....

I titled this blog Worra, Worra, Worra, for my mother..... I guess you could say that it is a family joke that started with my Dad. Anytime you bring up a dilemma he will shake his head, put his hand on your shoulder, and say "worra, worra, worra!" It makes me smile everytime! Mom knows my worries and suggested I blog about it- so here goes:

So....as you must have guessed... I have a dilemma. Well, maybe not a dilemma but a decision I need to make. As some of you know, I joined WW in January of 2010 and lost 50lbs last year. I thought that I would continue to stick with WW until I reached my "goal weight". However-----I have NO MOTIVATION. I love the results I see when I follow the program closely; but I just don't seem to have what it takes to do this another year. What's worse is that I teach a class once a month about motivation! I ask the patients what motivates them, what their internal/external motivators are, and what goals they have and how to ensure they have both short term and long term success. Maybe I need to be listening instead of teaching the class!

Have you committed to something for a period of time and just given up? Have you been on WW or some health program and had success?

I think what is surprising is that I stuck with it for an entire year. Most people quit after a few weeks/ months and go back to old habits- isn't this supposed to be a "lifestyle" by now??? I know that I should continue....but whatever it was that kept me going has faded away...... and to this I say: Worra, Worra, Worra!
