Negative thought this morning
I have kept up with my diet so far. But, this morning, the very first thought in my head was what a long road this is gonna be. I lost alot of weight a few years back and it took alot of commitment and running and pain. So, here I am again and I know what is expected of me in order to look that way again, but it just seems like it’s forever. I’m still committed, I just wish I could look at small victories as great one’s instead of looking months in advance.
rnP.S. Alot of blogs are mentioning that cookies are being eaten. Ladies, drop those cookies. Cookies turn into cakes and cakes turn into burgers and so forth and so on.
Okay then let’s break it down into small goals! Let’s work on losing 10lbs together. I’m up for it let’s support each other and get it done. I get depressed when I look at the big number as well and think about all the hard work it is going to take. I too have lost a lot of weight in the past and I know what I have to do I just don’t always do it. We think sometimes in our heads that we’ll get down to a certain weight then we won’t have to worry about making exercise and eating right a way of life but we do or we end up right back where we are now. It’s not just an external thing it also has to be a mental thing. We can do 10lbs at a time. That isn’t too daunting. Are you ready to start today with me?
Have a good day and think of how great you feel instead of what lies ahead.

Wow !! I can’t believe I’m talking to wonder Woman!!
I was in the same boat as you are yesterday but this site helped me find my groove again. We all feel like giving up some times. I’m sure we all know tht’s not what we really want. Our pride comes from our success and that fuels us to keep on going!!
Think Healthy and about that great body that you miss!! Hang in there!!

I used to feel the same way but now I am not really focusing on the end result as much as I am the day to day victories I have. I am enjoying each and everyday day of my success. Savor the moment. The mere self control feels amazing to me. Don’t lose hope just get up everyday knowing you are being the best you can be.
I know what you mean, some days are worse then others. Laura is right look at small goals and it will help. I was just so happy yesterday I didn’t break down and get into the candy bowl at work. That made my whole day! It is hard to look at the how much we got to lose, it seems hopeless. That is where I was last week, but we can do it together. You have my support! Email me any time. Lisa
We all totally know what you mean! Just yesterday I was thinking about how slow this is all going and how I feel like I haven’t made any progress. I’ve been stuck at roughly the same weight for 2 weeks now, or more, and I’m getting used to seeing myself at this size so I don’t feel smaller anymore like I did when I first got to this weight. BUT, yesterday I put on my favorite jeans that I haven’t been able to even button in a LONG time, and to my suprise, they buttoned! It was crazy. (They are still to tight to wear, but at least I got them on!)
So I guess my point is that it seems like a long road, but really those little victories go a long way. Focus on the day or the week or the month and do the best you can, and before you know it you will drop inches and pounds and not even realize it’s happening!
Good luck!!!
