As I ponder the mystery of the meaning of life and more importantly WHY I can't lose these last fifteen stubborn pounds, I read through my weight loss journals and my daily food diaries in an attempt to jump start my doomed metabolism. Finally, I FIND the journal entry that parts the clouds and justifies the current plateau!!!! Back in October when I was on the Today Show as part of the Joy Fit Club (definitely the high point in my "get the word out and help others lose weight vision", I was in the make up chair (very cool) when the make up artist said to me, "You are SO LUCKY, you have FAT LASHES." There it is...........it's not the fat grams, sugar content or daily carbs intake.....it's the FAT LASHES!!! All the walking in the world won't reduce those babies!!!! OK, back to reality. We all reach plateaus and after losing and maintaining a 100 pound weight loss, the last fifteen pounds should be a PIECE OF CAKE!!!! Yikes....why do all of my analogies deal with FOOD. Shouldn't I have said, "The last fifteen pounds should be a walk in the park???? As the great Joe Walsh sings, "One Day At A Time". That's how we have to look at it and deal with the daily choices that we make. Let's plateau jump together and.........Take It Easy......
