Motivational post, not really just the truth

Well, here we are (being here is something cool itself, which means you are already 99% of the way there)
So here is the thing if you're here to lose weight. First, you are awesome already! Seriously you are, all that weight loss business is just becoming more awesome. You're not going to lose anything, you are going to gain MORE awesome.

In tribal cultures (really all cultures have had this at one time or another), they have "initiations" a girl becomes a woman, a boy becomes a man, all kinds of things. But they never cease being what they were they just become something else. It's the same, you won't cease to be the person you are, you will just become an improved version of that. My point is that no one wants to "lose" not a contest, not a competition, nothing at all.

If you look at weight loss in the same way, not losing weight, gaining MORE awesome, the mind rejects it a lot less as does the body.

Be sure not to let anyone tell you that you're not awesome already, and that includes yourself :) You really are, and just getting more awesome by the day.
