    I am disgusted with all the negativity that I find around me. Each day is a new day and each new day is a blessing of some sort, may not always be my blessing, but it is definitely a blessing!

    Pessimists say the cup is half empty, optimists say the cup is half full...I say either way it's not going to be enough vodka.

    I'm thrilled that even if I have a bad scale day, my mom is still there right beside me making her health a priority for the first time in 47 years. It thrills to me to the core to know she's there and she know's I'm there whenever we need a push or just someone to have a lazy day with! :flowerforyou:

    I can run three miles without stopping! Before I started my weight loss journey I wasn't even able to run for a minute. Even at my thinnest before I couldn't run a mile. The best part is that now I love running!

    I second that! I can run 5 miles now, and I actually kind of enjoy it. Shocker!! :smile:

    I find that the longer I am on this new lifestyle, the more active I can be with my kids.

    Also just a couple nights ago, I was in a bit of a mood. The kind of mood where I just want to have 2 or 3 plates of dinner and was going to do it. Well, after the 1st plate I was too full and couldn't eat another bite so I couldn't indulge for that 2nd or 3rd plate. It made me feel much better knowing I couldn't eat anymore and feel even worse if I had. My mood had shifted that night!

    I love it that it did not take a gimmick, quick way, etc... to lose weight and feel restricted from my favorite foods. It's plain and simple, eat in moderation and do some exercises.

    That's wonderful! I am deaf, while my kids are not and we communciate both in signs and speaking. I love love it when I see my kids sign to me. Their little hands just makes anything they say much much cuter!

    I saw the same post and I too chose not to respond because frankly, in the grand scheme of things, I have nothing to complain about. Good for you for keeping a positive attitude!

    Your post really made me smile. What great accomplishments!! :smile:

    I love this post as a whole. I too try to live my life as positively as I can and it makes me days that much better. Every single morning I wake up and thank the Lord for allowing me to see another sunrise. I have four beautiful children who also give me breath. No matter how bad things tend to get, I remember those things and I don't feel bad any longer.

    No matter how frustrated I've gotten with the slowness of my progress, I haven't quit. And I seem to have finally found some balance in that I pull back when I need to instead of "gutting it out" and hurting myself or quitting entirely out of frustration.

    I have inspired my family and my husband has lost more than 30 pounds just because of changes I've made to our eating and my encouragement. My daughter (16) is doing P90X with me and has lost more inches than I have and dropped pants sizes, all without me mentioning a word about "dieting". She's working out more and listening when I talk about "healthy eating". That part makes me extremely happy!
