Rollercoaster

How can one go from singing "I've got the joy,joy, joy, joy down in my heart" to "This sucks!!!"???

Up and down and down and up.  Dieting sucks!  Scales suck!  Not taking care of myself to begin with-- SUCKS.

I found a small notebook and started thumbing through it.  One page had this entry:

60 lbs in one yr

4 out of 5 ain't bad; but the bad part is the 60 pounds in one year.  It didn't happen.  Where did I go wrong?  Oh yeah, the "I lost 20 pounds and now I'm cocky attitude!"  20 is good.  It is a nice even number but it isn't the 60 I had hoped for on that August 31, 2011.

I could have a pity party, but I bet you wouldn't come, right?  Twenty pounds is GREAT.

But it wasn't your goal, Mona keeps reminding me.

Up and down and down and up.  The journey continues....
