This post is great! I found your blog today and have added it to my regular blog reading. Also thanks for the post about the automatic shifting bike. I've decided to go with a 3-speed trike. I'm scared to death of falling off two wheels as I came to bike riding fairly late in life. Happy Holidays!

This is so true, I'm a firm believer in getting back on track ASAP and not worrying about the things you perhaps didn't do correctly/perfectly!

Life's too short - trying to be perfect does zilch for your confidence!

Great post!

Great Post! There are a lot of dieting mistakes that people make. I think that one of the biggest mistakes is "high expectations." A lot of people start out with the idea that they will lose weight in a week...well it doesn't actually work that way! Weight loss is a slow and steady process but the results are great!

Great Post. I think that you are 100% correct and I can see why "being honest with yourself" tops your list. That is a very important concept when weight loss is concerned.

I just think you have tos tart slow. You just can't rush into things. once you build a habit/ routine then you can pick up the pace. You definitately can't go wrong with running. I mean i haven't gotten to that level yet but walking or anything of that matter is good for your health. I'm a bit over weight and need as much help as possobile so I recently purchased these bike shorts from fitandsharp.com. I've been using them for about 3 weeks now and have seen a decrease in my waist. Give it a look, I hightly recommend it. Hope i was of some assistance!!

Hey Crabby, this is a GREAT post! I wish every person struggling with the all or nothing thinking would read this! And, I loved your 'real-life' example. Its so good to hear someone else's brain works like mine. I'm not crazy or defective as long as there's one other person out there like me!

Love the 'fun-sized workout' concept!

Ok, I just found this post in your sidebar, and no one is commenting on it anymore, but seriously . . . do you live in my head??! LOL.

And btw, I am SO stealing the term "Fun-sized workout." Love it.

I came across your blog by accident, but thoroughly enjoy reading it. I just started my own to use a motivational tool I guess. I wish I could write the way you do, but I've just never been able too. Your blog is usually the pick me up that I need, Thanks :)

Thanks so much, ElleAyKay, and good luck with quitting smoking!

From what I hear, that's one of those habits that takes A LOT of perseverance to break, so good for you for not getting too caught up in perfection!

Hey Crabby,
New to your Blog, and also new to the world of blogging. Your post was so true. I recently quit smoking (again) and found that even on the days when I had that cheat smoke, it was better in the end to say, 'I am human, I could have went without that smoke, but I didn't. I just don't need another". It has been about 5 months, with a few slip-ups here and there, but thats better than a pack every two days. So now it is time to bring that lesson to my food health.
I look forward to reading more posts!

Hi, Crabby, new to your blog and love this post. I'll be linking to it on my blog sometime tomorrow (I'm a slooow blogger!)

Thanks for the good read!

2007-09-09T08:30:00.000-04:00

Hi Jolynn,
I think the cookie example is a perfect one! The second cookie has just as many calories as the first one, but once we're not "perfect" somehow anything after that all blurs together.

I guess maybe the trick is to give ourselves as much WillPower Credit for not eating the second cookie as we would have for skipping the first one. Stopping a potential pig-out in progress is a great achievement too!

2007-09-08T17:36:00.000-04:00

This is soooo true....perfectionism can really derail you, and undo all of the work that you've already put in if you tend to "go all out", eating anything you can find when you slip up with one thing. If you can stop and forgive yourself for that little slip up (like a cookie) and let it go (instead of saying "I'm no longer perfect, may as well eat the whole package!"), you'll do so much better in the long run. ;)

Thanks Neonalune!
Btw, I really like your blog! And yeah, getting back On It is the most important thing. (And that's cool that your recognizing a pattern around baby/shopping days--could lead to some helpful preventative steps for the future!)

2007-09-08T09:00:00.000-04:00

Excellent...you put into words exactly what I've been thinking the last 2 days (one of which I exercised and ate perfectly...the second of which I failed miserably because I always fail to exercise and eat right on shopping days out with my baby...ALWAYS.) But you just have to keep trying over and over because that's the only way to get there. Obviously.

Hi P-Town Peach,Thank you so much! Isn't it funny...

2007-09-08T08:26:00.000-04:00

Hi P-Town Peach,
Thank you so much! Isn't it funny how we know this stuff already but need to be reminded sometimes? And the whole bread before dinner thing is a battle I fight all the time and I definitely lose sometimes. What a stupid custom to tempt you with something you don't need when you're starving and healthier food is on the way! (And it, um, never occurred to me that I could actually ask them NOT to bring it! Thanks!)

Hi Reinvent!
Sorry, don't think I've written about that but it's a really good topic idea. What a challenge to stay motivated for the long haul when you stop getting indications of progress! At least know that when the scale is being stubborn and obnoxious your body is thanking you every day for your healthy choices. If you're getting exercise and eating nourishing food and building muscle and keeping your cells from rusting away, your doing a really good thing for yourself. Thanks so much for your visit!

Brilliant. Thank you. I am bookmarking your site...

2007-09-07T23:35:00.000-04:00

Brilliant. Thank you. I am bookmarking your site.

Now I need to find if you wrote a post about weight Plateaus...I need ispiration. :)

2007-09-07T23:29:00.000-04:00

Evidently I wasn't the only one who read this post and smacked the forehead thinking, "why, yes, of course!" Before reading this, I had just returned from dinner at Macaroni Grill where I conveniently 'forgot' to ask them not to bring the bread, so of course had to eat it, and was in full blown you-worthless-good-for-nothing mode, despite a week of good choices.

So, thanks Crabby, I needed that too.

My first time here btw (thanks Roni!), and totally love your blog!

Hi Anar,

Thank you so much for asking permission. Yes, if you would like to translate this post please do!

Good luck with all the slang--I'm afraid so many words and phrases are hard to translate! "Duh," "Giving a Crap," even "Fun-Sized" probably don't make much sense. Thanks for coming to visit!

Thanks Gut-buster!

It's great to see people getting serious about their health and starting blogs, especially people who have a sense of humor.

But watch out for this blogging stuff, it's addictive!

On the plus side, there have been many times when I might have been tempted to prowl around the kitchen looking for snacks--but ended up prowling on the computer instead just in case anyone maybe left a comment or something!

2007-09-07T17:29:00.000-04:00

I love your posts! They are so funny and light but they really "get me down deep." (Sorry for the corny-ness... it's in my blood) Thanks for stopping by my sight and encouraging me on my way to freedom over fat!!!!
