Chimis_Siq

I didnt know where to post this, but here it is! For all of the rookies out there (myself included) what is the one thing you've learned on this journey that trumps all others. In one sentence. It can be funny, serious..etc..but not negative!


I learned:

Do not compare my progress to others.

I like this. I recently heard something similar to this on a TV program ..." comparing ourselves with others is an act of violence against the self"

I totally agree. I realize im not doing myself justice . I still go back and forth but it definitly is something i fight everyday.

You have to eat to live and not live to eat.

Be aware that while the weight loss journey may end when hit your goal weight/size, the weight control journey does not.

We are only a victim of our own choices; if we don’t succeed, it is because we have chosen something else over our success.

You are ONLY competing against yourself: a competition that you take one step at a time for the rest of your life.

That "eat to live, not live to eat" one gets under my skin for some reason, and not in the good way.

Mine is: Do what works for you, not what everyone else thinks should work for you.
