No More Waiting

in Introduce Yourself
I have been waiting to lose weight.
Waiting until I had the money and the time to join a gym.
Waiting until I ate all the bad food in the kitchen to buy healthy food.
Waiting until I felt less stressful.
Waiting until after the holidays.
Waiting until I get over a cold.
Waiting until the I get a new job.
Waiting...waiting...waiting...
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions.
So what.
I will get started now!
With each step I take, I will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful

    NO more waiting! Welcome! It costs nothing to eat a little less and move a little more. Go do that and watch the changes! :flowerforyou:

    GOOD!

    Waiting assumes you'll have time in the future. You never know when it all ends.

    I had several years of, "I'll start tomorrow". Tomorrow finally came when I went to buy weight watchers on-line and my daughter said,"try this first". MFP worked for me! Follow the guidelines and it will work for you too! Good luck!

    :laugh: I cannot count how many of those excuses I have used myself. Just started 10 days ago and have managed to log all foods for those days and hope it to be a habit and a regular part of my day.

    Good for you! I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've used to excuses. Either to begin a diet or begin a diet AGAIN after going off the reservation (that would be right now lol). Good for you to finally say enough is enough and just do it! So good for you in fact that I feel like starting right now (again) too! We can do this!! Feel free to add me if you want some extra encouragement on your journey!

    Great to see the support, my sister put me on to this after I've spent the last 2 years partying while travelling. First day for me too, we'll see how it goes!
