When You Need Motivation Or Have Qs I'm Happy To Help :)

If you're searching for someone or something to motivate you to get moving in the right direction, go take a look in the mirror. NO other person has the power to make your body move... to put the right foods in your body... to tell you that you're worth it... but YOU.

Excuses and no confidence: The only things holding you back from your personal best.

If you aren't serious about getting fit, you seriously aren't going to get fit.

Remember to be thankful for all the wonderful blessings in your life. Being negative or seeing all the bad things going on or all the awful things that have happened to you in your life isn't going to do much except bring you down, and give you excuses on why you should keep abusing yourself. Stay bright, happy and cherish all the love you have in your life. Look forward to your improvements, but also keep in mind anything worth having will never come easy. Fight until the wheels fall off... I know I always will. God Bless.

I'll start with a Re-Post of my WLS Do's and Don'ts. I'm not sure how many have seen this - but it's pretty much like my VS bible.

I LOVE your list. Quite an inspiration. I am going to read it daily! Thanks.

Always Climbing Higher In the Event of Victories and Excellence (ACHIEVE)

Plan your successes one tiny step at a time. If you had a long road trip, wouldn't you want to create a few stops in between? Make little promises and gifts to yourself as well. Don't pleasure yourself with food, or you will find yourself punishing you with it as well. Make your big goals with big gifts.. and small goals with a little pampering. Whatever you do, always keep your head up and your eyes on the prize!!

Choose to be FiT or choose to be FaT. One choice takes a great deal of hard work, persistence and patience. One is hard to get the other is easy to forget. If you've made it to the FiT side... be especially sure to NEVER forget what life is like on the FaT side. Those who do not learn from their mistakes are very easily going to make them again.

Note to self: It IS possible to be supportive and kind at the same time. Most people respond better to soft criticism rather than abrasive opinions.

Eating should not be seen as a necessary Evil. We need sustenance to live and stay alive. It's WHAT we put into our bodies that make the difference. Having a good relationship with food does not mean being able to avoid it, rather it entails making changes to ensure we are nourishing ourselves with proper nutrition.

Hey Irene....

I need help getting back on track. I have not completely gone off of radar but I have strayed more than I need to. I need something to keep me accountable. Is there a challenge going on? What is the best way to start back?
