When you aren't loosing as much as you want to,

Tell yourself, "I am doing this for me."

When your husband really does not want you to have the surgery and keeps harping on the PX90 exercise program :tt2: "I AM DOING THIS FOR ME"

My husband didn't want me to have it either, but I did anyway.

Why do we tend to do for others and put ourselves at the back of the line? Not any more - I AM DOING THIS FOR ME!

The sooner you decide to stand up for yourself, the sooner you'll be at goal. Every time you don't it's one small step (of many, many more) backwards for you. If you don't stand up this time, you won't the next time it happens again. And it will happen again because you let it happen the first time. Also if you don't, your not making a lifestyle change for yourself and not letting others realize this is a lifestyle change for you that you will be sticking to and they need to respect that. You set the future for letting it repeat and it will be a constant battle and steps back for you. Being ambiguous is how we got fat in the first place. None of us want to go back to that. Whats so hard or wrong about saying, that/this no longer works for me. If you don't respect yourself, others won't respect you, and your just shooting yourself in the foot. You'd be surprised how quickly people get over it. This is a real powerful thread all of us need to read.

When you finally get the benefit your have been waiting for from your most recent fill,

Tell yourself, "I am doing this for me."

For every pb, sliming episode or tight day..."I'm doing this for me".

When we slip up and try to eat a couple of chips (fries) from one of our kids meals and spend the next 15 mins trying not to bring it back up, have a cry and then tell yourself "I'm doing this for me!!!!"
