Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends
by Bill Ivory Larson on Dec.06, 2009, under My Daily Weight Loss Blog
My friends, good morning. I am just showered from a wonderful forty-minute workout in the gym and I’m sitting at my computer ready to begin today.
What is cool to me is how many of you guys out there have said “hello” to me on my new Facebook page, sent me a note to my e-mail address, etc. That is awesome, and also a powerful motivator for me and I thank you all so very much.
Losing weight is sometimes the easy part. Keeping it off is a struggle It is a constant thing we are doing, this weight loss journey. The part about losing and the part about keeping it off.
What continues to motivate me are my friends and loved ones and the new friends I am meet through the column and through this blog. You are all inspirations to me to continue the Battle of (what is now) the three-and-a-half. Yes, my battle to finally lose my grief weight is going very well thanks to my re-commitment to working out and eating better (i.e. laying off my personal crack of fried rice. Ice-cold Cokes are a slightly different story though).
It is the process that I will be doing for the rest of my life. It is the show that never ends. But the rewards are wonderful. Pants that always zip up. Clothes that fit better. Better health all the way around. A new outlook on life.
If that is a never ending show, it truly is the greatest show on earth.

Happy Friday, my friends. TGIF!!!! Well, the end of another work week. I am just back from my daily “I’m going to do four miles on the elliptical if it kills me” workout, which I usually do beginning at 8:00 in the morning most days. I have to say it really feels good to start the day knowing exercise is not only a permanent part of my days but also out of the way for the day.
Recently, I did a weight loss column that focused on hiding. I think there is always a panic that happens this time of year, when bigger people (me included) like to be able to hide in our igloos of bigger, warmer clothes to hide the extra pounds we pack on during the holidays. Bigger clothes, in themselves, are comfort zones and if you’ve read my column you will know how I feel about staying in a comfort zone.
I know you may or not believe this but the best looking clothes fit. The bigger something is doesn’t mean that it makes you look better. It makes you look bigger. Do not be afraid to look at your wardrobe and cast off what is too big in favor of something that is both warmer and fits well.
You are all incredible and know that I am right there with you on this battle of the bulge. I have my own Battle of the Ten to fight before getting back to my goal weight and it ain’t gonna help going into my favorite eating season. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to eat Thanksgiving food. Just you guys wait for that column. You will almost be able to smell the turkey and trimmings.
But until then, boldly go into your closets and purge your fat clothes. Do not be afraid. As you put away summer clothes and bring out fall and winter just know that underneath those clothes is a star waiting to shine.
