No matter how long it takes, or how tough it is, I will keep going, I will be persistent, I will attain my goals...my hard work, dedication tears, and sweat will give me the results that I want. I WILL NOT QUIT!!! I am trying really hard not to listen to that little voice that always tries to sabotage all of my efforts - as a matter of fact I refuse to listen to her tell me that I am too tired to go to the gym, or that one little donut won't hurt, or that I don't feel good this week so I will just go to the gym next week, or that I should just give up since I haven't lost a pound in a week or two - instead I tell her to shutup and I do what I know I have to do. I WILL NOT QUIT! *********************************** April 2010 - 6.5 pounds until I am 1/2 way to my goal of 125... *********************************** I quit smoking on 5/4/08 - and I have been able to maintain my weight and weightloss so far...I'm not really losing, but I'm not gaining either. WOO HOO - it's been 3 weeks...and still going strong! UPDATE: I started smoking again for a few weeks, but I quit again on 6/19/08 - I'm gaining weight :-( back to 174.6- started again...quit again 9/16/08 started again - quit 1/9/09 - started again....quit again 4/30/09 started again...quit again 9/16/09 started again...quit again 3/14/10 for the last time!!! *********************************** *********************************** Quotes - that have helped me... "A journey of a 1000 miles starts with just one step" "this time next year, i'll be glad i didn't quit today!" "Every one who wishes to gain true knowledge must climb the hill of difficulty alone, and since there is no royal road to the summit, I must zigzag in it my own way. I slip back many times, I fall, I stand still, I run against the edge of hidden obstacles, I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better. I trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged, I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory. One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud, the blue depths of the sky the uplands of my desire." Helen Keller in her book "The Story of My Life" (borrowed from a post by WAGYSGIRL) "I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen" Frank Lloyd Wright "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all" Dale Carnegie "The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night" Henry Wadsworth Longfellow *********************************** I love, love, love my DONE BEING A FAT GIRL TEAM!!!
