Believe in your strength - holidays and special occasions

RoseTheWarrior

So yeah, Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Birthdays. The holidays, special occasions. We love them, but now we also kind of dread them, right? You're not sure if you can say NO too many times. I know for myself, as soon as I decided to start this journey, it seems that every single day there is some special thing happening at work where FOOD is involved. Chocolates. Pastries. Popcorn. Ice cream. It's been a real test. But so far, I've done well. Why?

I think for myself, I have proven that if I make a commitment, I can stick with it. I've lost 96 lbs before. I completed a commerce degree and an accounting designation, as a single mom and working full time. I've left bad relationships. I know I have control over myself and my own life.

Some of you may feel you don't have control, only because you've not exercised it. You may be afraid of change. Don't be. It's hard, I know. Humans seem to be hard-wired to want to keep the status quo rather than face the unknown. But I can tell you... if you're here, now, you KNOW you need to change. You CAN do it, if you truly want to. Believe it. That will make it 1000 times easier to say NO to that candy, to that cake, to that extra piece of pie that will put you over your goal for today. Trust your will power, trust your strength and resolve. You've got this!

Quote for today:
"All the power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that; don't believe you that you are weak..."

Rock it today my friends. Go to bed tonight knowing you did the best you could do today
