Reminds me of a quote I have always liked by Francis (St.) of Assisi: " Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

Accept set backs
Set backs are a part of life. Learn from mistakes and move on.
Results happen one day at a time...then again so do set backs. It's easy to put off to tomorrow (and put off, and put off, etc.). The best thing I have learned is if you think about it today...do it...and then you don't hedge your bets on tomorrow. Also...it's never too late to turn around a bad day. When guilt sets in over that huge ice cream sundae or 2nd (or 3rd) piece of pizza...don't mope about it...walk!
When you have had a set back, it is okay, as long as you dont give up. I have always given up in the past, and as no suprise, I have never managed to keep my weight off. Just like everything else in life, we make mistakes, but it is never too late to get back on track. I have decided, I AM WORTH IT!!!!!
