It's not about the destination.

I'm sitting here watching the Biggest Loser (thank goodness for DVR). I just heard a contestant say, "I want to lose it faster so I can get there faster." Get there. Hmmm. Get where? And what will you do when you get there?

We do that, don't we? We think that if we can just get to that magic weight or perfect size. . . What's so hard to remember is that there is no such thing as magic, no such thing as pefection. The only thing that is real is the journey.

I once told my husband, "Okay, I'm done. I'm sick of not losing weight. I quit." And he said, "Okay. Now what?" (Smarty pants.)

But that's the question, isn't it? Okay, so you're not losing weight. Okay, so you quit. Now what? Well, now, you eat right and exercise anyway. . .because it's right, that's why, and because you can't quit. You just can't.

Not decreasing but not quitting either.
