"If you’re stuck holding onto any guilt or resentment of yourself, how are you ever supposed to truly heal?"

Lime team challenge this week is a blog on: Can I forgive myself for the past? How will it affect my successful journey to better health?

Yes would be the right answer to the first question, but it is really no. I can not seem to get past forgiving myself for all the weight I have lost over the years and putting it all back on plus more. Every day I seem to b...

1. exercise - will be doing

7. relax - will definitely be working on this one

3. Healthy eating, working at becoming a vegan

4. Move my body daily

5. Drop some weight, which means no gaining over the holidays

" Think of trying to push a car up a hill. If it slips a bit, and you catch it and keep pushing, you haven't lost much. If it slips and you let it slide, you'll have to go back down the hill and start all over again.

It's the same in weight loss. Accept the tiny slip and keep on pushing. Why climb the same hill twice? "

This is my background picture on my Spark Page. I have had alot of comments about it. I took this picture last year when I was in Montego Bay Jamaica. It is a beautiful island, and I really want to return in February or March 2013.

My motivation to help me get healthier and get my blood sugars lowered so I can go away and enjoy.
