Almost Content

I have often poised the dilemma:  If you could eat whatever you wanted and not gain or lose another pound, would you stay the weight you are right now or would you rather be instantly at your goal weight, but then have to work like crazy to stay at that weight?  I know neither situation is realistic, but it poses an interesting question.  Had you asked me one month ago, I definitely would have opted for the automatically thin response, but now if I were asked that question, I would be content to stay at this weight for the rest of my life. 

I still have a ways to go for my own personal goal weight, but at least I am not embarrassed to leave my house anymore.  I am almost content with my body weight.  Almost.  I know I will never be perfect, nor would I even want to be perfect.  OK, so yeah, I would take perfection.  But I guess I don't need perfection.

With that being said, I am still striving to do better and be better.  Another 10 pounds would be pure contentment (except when I was that weight, I was never content).

then I walked the Tischer Creek trail for about an hour or so, but it was with two kids aged 4 and 2 so it was slow going and quite leisurely.
