    This is perfection! And it’s something we CAN work on every day. That’s how progress is made.

    So simple, yet incredibly profound.

    Not the destination, but the journey. Note how yo-yo dieting is only possible if the process works, so the process isn't the issue.

    I'm so excited to have been tagged in such an awesome @kimny72 post! I never saw it all these months. And coincidentally, I need the reminder now more than ever. It's a principle with application far beyond weight loss- stop obsessing about the ultimate goal and just focus on what needs done today.

    Now I want to know what the original thread was ;)

    I'm going to guess it was similar to the threads that reminded me of this - folks who are starting over for the millionth time who are scared of the scale not doing what they want causing them to bail again. But I should've linked it back in April darn it! Thanks for suggesting it, wherever it was :lol:

    Great post! I feel like I've been slowly coming to that same conclusion myself, but it's always such a huge help to see someone else articulate what was, for me, a half-formed nebulous thought.

    I've quoted this philosophy to others! Glad to see the original bumped.

    @kimny72 you are so much more eloquent than I. I also tend to advise on process over outcomes. The difference is that I say it like a math teacher. You say it like an inspirational leader. Thanks for bumping this as I missed it the original time.

    Wow, this was a really, really good point.

    (Also, an excuse to bump since no one did after the shameless plug from another thread. :))

    Commenting how great and on point this post is once just wasn't enough.
