It's really hard to stay motivated....especially when it seems like everyone you know can eat whatever they want without gaining a pound. I know it's going to be difficult, but I know I will eventually be able to be at the weight I want to be. Congrats to all of you who have been doing so well!!! You can be my motivation!! :) |
