More Praise for the BodyBugg

Since I began my laser focus on fat loss about 2 weeks ago, I've been in control of my appetite for the most part. Yesterday was the first day where I just felt like I needed to eat more. It wasn't that I ate bad things, or that I ate when I wasn't hungry, but I did eat nearly 2400 calories. This is almost 1000 more than I usually eat. This increased caloric intake coupled with a rest day, as Saturday is usually my rest day, left me with only 171 calories for a deficit.

While a 171 calorie deficit won't get me anywhere very fast, it is still something. The value of having this information is the difference between feeling like a failure and feeling OK. I believe that, for me, a key factor contributing toward my ability to succeed will be the banishment of negativity and feelings of failure that ultimately have caused me to give up in the past. The BodyBugg teaches you that dieting and exercise are not an all or nothing practice.

While our weight loss goals are typically associated with dates (more like deadlines), the truth is that we have the rest of our lives to lose weight and be healthy. As long as we are going in the right direction, we WILL get there.
