"Please DON'T take my picture!!!"

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

My husband was showing my step-mom how to download pictures off of a disk her computer. She thought it was so neat. We sat and looked at the photos. There was one picture. I took one kook and asked is that me? I was so shocked.

Later, I told my my husband that I couldn't believe it, how bad it really is. What a wake-up call. Hopefully it WILL wake me up.

I go to the sp website daily, but I don't diet or exercise. Why I don't know. I often think that I'm afraid or scared that I won't be successful. I want too, but I don't or won't.


Tomorrow, I am going to try setting some small goals, writing them down, putting them in plain sight so I won't forget them. I need to start somewhere!.

    I, too, was in your place, and I'm still struggling, but I am working on it. I lost 45 pounds, then have had several surgeries, which put me back up about 10 because of not being able to exercise. As soon as my 12 weeks is up, I plan to climb back on that horse and have another go at it. Never give up. We all have been where you're at, and many of us have had setbacks, but because of the support and caring friends here on SP, we have been able to make a go of it. emoticon emoticon Deb emoticon

    You had your awakening, and now is the time to start making the changes to a healthier you. Everybody misses the mark sometimes, but it's only a failure if you don't get back up and try again. Not even starting is a bigger failure. When I started I didn't even tell anyone what I was trying to do. I slowly adjusted my diet, and added a little exercise here and there and I started feeling and seeing the results (it kept people off my case). Then you couldn't shut me up about the changes I saw. If I can do it, so can you. Just have faith in yourself and get off the couch! emoticon

    You may be scared that you might fail or won't be successful, but if you do nothing then you WILL fail. So many of us have fallen down but that is not failure if you also pick yourself up and keep going. You will have bad days, but how you handle those days and what you do with them is what tells the story. So allow yourself to use those setbacks as building blocks to grow stronger and to succeed! Are you worth it? You betcha!

    The term "just do it" comes to mind. I hope you do make some mini goals and go for it!! I am back on baby steps and have had to re-do my own goals so they are "do-able". Sometimes I make goals that are not sensible, so have to re-assess. Good luck on making a new plan and starting forward again!!

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained is an old adage. We are all here for the same reason and it is like a friend asking you to take a walk with them. Nothing to be afraid of.
