Struggling? Need some motivation? Look to the past.
Hey Buddyslimmers, I’m throwing a challenge out there for some of you. If you are looking for a little motivation, I want you to step back in time. Look back at your very first blog that you wrote when you joined Buddyslim and remember how you were feeling then. Were you happy to start your plan? Were you down and out? Were you seeking change? Did something trigger you to start? Maybe you can look back and see that person you were when you first joined and see if that helps you get out of a slump.
And if your first blog was just a simple hello, then look to the next one or the one after that to see where you have been. Have you made alot of progress since then? If not, look back and read some over to see what’s going on. See if you notice a pattern. Did you do really well since you started? Good! Now see what you did and how you felt in some of those blogs when you had success and maybe it will help you to keep going.
I just wanted to share what my very first blog was in January:
_______________________________________________________________
I can’t blame my weight on my last pregnancy anymore. I am big and it’s because of my lack of control. I need to get it together. I felt better when I was thinner and I looked better.
________________________________________________________________
I know, my first blog was pretty dull. I was pretty down back then and I was new at the blogging thing. I don’t have all the answers and I don’t claim to either. But I just want to see us all succeed. We have families and friends hoping that we stick around on this earth for as long as we can. Let’s not let them down. Let’s make some new goals for the week and let’s all see a loss! 
P.S. To see your very first blog, click “My Blog” and then “Manage” and do a search by month and just look back. Maybe push “previous blog” at the bottom of the page.
I love it..guess what i’m off to do now?! I have been challenged by a new buddy to lose a stone by x’mas so I am going to need some SERIOUS motivation after my time away at the buffet cart! Thanks x
What a great idea! I’m gonna have a look!
You are such a sweet person. I wish I could go back and look at my first blog.
Great idea! I deleted all of mine..lol. I do know that I’m stuck and I think I have that same speech about every 3 weeks. (I’m thinking my issues are connected to hormonal changes) However, I like the idea and I am going to go find a journal that I used to write in. Haven’t thought about that in ages. Thanks for the idea.
Yeah I did that a few weeks back, It;s actually great to see all the progress and my first buddy Toni lol lol lol and guess what you posted on my third blog which was awesome!!! Missed you have a great day and thanks for everything!
This is a GREAT post! Thank you for that bit of encourgment. I’m going now to read that very first blog.
Thats a great idea WW. I’m going to go back and reread. I’m sure it will be interesting
and hopefully get me motivated again! Thanks!!
Well I just started a few days ago but it’s a great idea and I’m going to keep that in mind as the months pass by.
I do this on a regular basis to remind me what I was feeling. It is a great way to stay on track. Thank you WW!
well i don’t blog often cos i don’t have anything positive to write…but ur idea is gr8…so maybe i should start blogging more often…..
I did this before, and it was awesome! Well, that is the plan at lunch then to read my old blogs! Thanks for the great reminder!
Yeah, awhile ago you made the same suggestion to me and it helped greatly! I am sure it will help those who take the time to do it. You sure have come a long way!
I will do that. I think that is the great thing about blogging. You can see the progress even if you don’t know you have progressed. Thank you for the push!
