Vision (Inspiration) Board

I decided to make a vision board today. It's summer, I need a project, and I need something to keep me going with all of the setbacks I have had lately.

A vision board is based on the idea of the Law of Attraction, which basically is the belief that when you bring positive thoughts and beliefs into your life, your life will change and become what you want it to be. If you want to be healthy, and truly believe you can be, you will. A vision board is basically a collage of magazine clippings, inspirational quotes, pictures, and really anything that will help you every day to think more positively and to truly bring that positive energy into your life.

So tonight I sat on my basement floor with my foam board, some magazines, and some scissors and glue. I made a mess :-)

My dog was bored:

But I think I got a good start to my vision board!


Clearly it's a work in progress, as it should be. I plan on letting it grow as I come across things I find that inspire me or make me feel good. I'm having fun with this!

Gain, Loss, Gain, Loss....

I'm up 2.5lbs this morning. Another week, another gain.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I can't seem to lose any weight. No matter what I do. I've been hovering around the same 5lbs for 4 months and I'm fed up. I had a perfectly on-plan week this week (even with Memorial day!) and I was excited to see a loss this morning (at least I thought I would have a loss). I even felt skinnier when I hopped on the scale.

It's just frustrating. I eat my WPs, I don't eat my WPs, I eat half WPs, I eat WP's and APs... nothing seems to really help. I'm stuck. I'm at a complete loss.

I'm not saying I'm the perfect WWer (I don't think anyone is), but I see so many others having success and I wonder why I can't be successful. There's something blocking the road in front of me, I just don't know what it is. I want to give up and call it quits. But that wouldn't get me anywhere either. I just wish I could make this program work for me.

I might start the Wendie plan this week. I just hope I'm not setting myself up for yet another disappointment. Wish me luck!
