it has been a year and 7 months ..not much progress emoticon I realize its a process but why am I not trying??why??its so slow it overwhelms me at times yeah..I realize I created this 'me and that I "have been the queen of restart I swear!!!
but...this has been my best month so need to push myself to keep going look for the positive trish
need staying power ..this is how I seem to operate anymore its easier to just give in
but like everyone else I can choose a different path anytime I want ..tired today feel out of control have drank alot of my water today emoticonwhich is a step in the right direction I keep telling myself to remember its only food ...I have to work through all these challenges another big challenge for me is that I need to eat with moderation ..my mind doesn't seem to know the word emoticonthis is a journey of a lifetime and negative thoughts and actions can be overcome and changed but its all up to me ...no more excuses what a challenge this weight loss is for me well,

    You're doing GREAT! You have to take it in baby steps...one day at a time....moment by moment. Temptation is all around us, every single day. We have to teach ourselves NOT to give in to it. It's a hard lesson to learn, but I believe that you can do this.
Remember, we are all different. Not everything comes easy to everyone. Take it one small step at a time and you WILL succeed.
Hang in there!

    You're right that drinking your water is a good first step. :) Keep up the great work! Maybe focus on one thing at a time. For instance, focus on getting your 8-10 glasses of water and then once you are doing it consistently every day for a week add something else like eat within calorie range every day. That kind of stuff will help you focus on small things and not feel overwhelmed. Make one fitness and one nutrition goal and (as I said) once you do them consistently for a week step it up a notch. :) Keep on Sparking!

    Don't beat yourself up, we have all gone thru some of those feeling. emoticon . Keep your promises to yourself. Keep motivational sayings where you can see them. Let's do it this time.

    Got any motivating phrases on the fridge? Made up a collage of images for yourself: where you want to travel, what you'd like to learn, what you'd like to give yourself as a reward etc.

Our moods go up and down and we tell ourselves negative stuff... but we can Dominate!

Let us know how you do tomorrow...
