There was no reason I could not have achieved this other than self-sabotage, which has proved to be the case. I weigh the same now as I did towards the end of last year... However, I will not allow it to deter me - I WILL get there in the end.<br /><br />I don't know whether it's because you're not *that* overweight (don't hate me for saying that - I know you believe you are) compared with some of us that it sometimes feels more effort than it's worth. I'm guessing you can fairly easily buy clothes and fit into airline seats, and so on - something some of us are not able to do at the moment.<br /><br />Enjoy the pre-dawn walks and don't worry that you're tempting fate by describing the improvement in your knee! ;o)<br /><br />P xPatsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237128259799260713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-60537967473032625512010-05-20T06:06:59.886-07:002010-05-20T06:06:59.886-07:00Hi Leslie.

To fully intend to do something is the next stage on. The final stage is actually doing it. <br /><br />You can only *want* something for so long. And then your brain brings you to a point where you either have to give it up, or actually make it happen. Otherwise an unfulfilled want just drains your energy going round and round in circles in your brain not getting anywhere. <br /><br />Maybe this issue has drained enough of your energy now and you're ready to move on?<br /><br />Bearfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-75740360494452935422010-05-19T18:40:56.435-07:002010-05-19T18:40:56.435-07:00i really like the definition you chose for intenti...i really like the definition you chose for intentional. Like it a lot!<br /><br />It is such nice timing, because I've just finished thinking about my own weight loss journey so far--looking at the ups and downs, the things I learned, where I've been and where I am now. Just finished a (long & boring) post about some of it.<br /><br />Intentional. Finally. I'm there now.<br /><br />:D<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-49859838261779922672010-05-19T18:07:58.775-07:002010-05-19T18:07:58.775-07:00Sometimes we need time to ruminate.

You have to plan (intend) and follow through. There are too many new age ideas nowadays that seem to say that all you have to do is think differently and you make your own reality. I like Nike's saying of just doing it. You do have to do something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-68762270953377260222010-05-19T12:19:36.146-07:002010-05-19T12:19:36.146-07:00Yes you can, and excellent post!Yes you can, and excellent post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844191762138935136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-45337590541110094322010-05-19T12:13:04.988-07:002010-05-19T12:13:04.988-07:00Great post, Leslie.
