I remember way back when I had first started out and told myself this time it was going to be different, I wasn't going to look at it as depravation. I was going to look at it as wow, this IS exciting. If I DO give up the bad stuff and DO take time to exercise that I really and truly can accomplish something. I really can make my life BETTER. That time will pass one way or another and if I stick to my plan I can absolutely and positively lose weight and improve my life. I don't know, this thread just reminded me of that. And I think you may have just helped a lot of people by showing them that. That is really is possible to change ones life around and you know what, it doesn't take all that long.  |
That's exactly my point! I wasn't trying to give myself a pat on the back even though I do appreciate everyone's nice words. I was just realizing that days become weeks...and if you're on plan it just happens. I don't want to imply it was effortless, because everyone here knows that isn't the case, but it was NOT has difficult as I had felt it was going to be for all the years I didn't even try. I guess all I'm trying to say is that looking back, 17 weeks really isn't that long! It is DOABLE! The next 17 weeks is DOABLE...and the 17 after that! I can do this for the rest of my life!
Mrs. Q. - I think our journey's being so similar is why I'm always just a TAD more exited for you when I hear of your success
(if that makes any sense). I SOOOO look forward to us maintaining goal together!
all around!
