I think it takes a lot of courage to post our set-backs as well as our victories ... but hey you came here, you posted, you got support, and now you have to get back on track :)

It is time to start thinking about yourself!

Believe it
It pays to be a little skeptical in a world where people are constantly making all sorts of fantastic claims. You certainly cannot believe all you read, or hear or see on television. Get-rich-quick schemes, miracle weight loss products, hot stock tips and other such things promise to quickly and easily solve problems with little or no effort. They seem so enticing, yet they usually turn out to be just enticement and nothing more. A healthy skepticism can save you from a lot of pain and disappointment.

When it comes to yourself and the possibilities for your own life and your ability to make those possibilities a reality, however, set your skepticism aside. What you believe is possible for your life, is possible. What you believe about yourself, is who you are. What you decide to accomplish, you will accomplish.

Allow yourself to believe in yourself. Allow yourself to believe that the best in life is possible for you. Let your belief infect, infuse and empower your thoughts, your actions, and your expectations. In your belief is the power to overcome whatever obstacles may stand in your way.

When the world promises you something, it's just common sense to temper your belief with a healthy skepticism. Yet when you make a promise to yourself, believe it with everything you have and you'll find a way to keep that promise.

Thank you happydaisy! :D

Selena -- You're doing great and getting lots of great support here. The only thing I'd like to add is to keep your focus. You know why you're doing this -- don't forget!

Another great point to make again is that setbacks ARE part of the process. See this as a learning opportunity. Where did you go wrong? How can you correct that in the future? I have found that this kind of reflection is very helpful as I think of this as a lifelong process.

Finally, I know you said your plan didn't fail you, but as you continue in the process if it turns out the plan isn't working for you longterm, then don't be wedded to it. Shake things up, be flexible. Make a plan work FOR you. Sometimes plans that work for part of the process need to be modified as we continue. Keep your focus, but explore what works for you.
