I can't believe that it is June already. The month of May flew by with activities and celebrations. My weigh in two weeks ago resulted in a gain of 1.6 lbs and then last week, I was down 1.4 lbs. Sometimes the body just goes up and down and settles for a little bit before letting that weight go.
Lately, I've been thinking about the teetor totter. This piece of playground equipment has always intrigued me because you can't play on the teetor totter by yourself. You need someone else to play along with you. You just can't do it alone. Sometimes the person on the other end will balance there along with you and sometimes they will push you up in the air or get off and you drop instantly to the ground. There is a lot of trust needed to play on the teetor totter.
Similar to the teetor totter is the weight loss journey. You can't do it alone. You need to make your mind up that you are committed, but to actually do it, you need accountability to and the support of others. You could have the support of a friend, who will balance or lift you up. Then there is the food saboteur, who will lift you up with food and then jump off ultimately leaving you to drop off the plan.
Success on the teetor totter is based on relying on the other person to give you a push every once in a while and returning that favor. Go out and find someone to play on the teetor totter with you!
