This is when I usually quit.

The quote in my signature says it all..."Fall down seven times...get up eight" It is a chinese proverb and I repeat it to myself every time I have a slip up. This is a new way of life, not a diet. Even if we make a poor choice today, we can make a better choice next time. It is either moving one step closer to our goal or one step further away.

Good for you for not giving up. Every good choice puts you one step closer to being healthier!

Don't quit! It's all about "choices"... When we go out, and have a little too much "Food and Wine", then that is the "choice" we make. And making that "choice" once in a while, is okay. But it is also a "Choice" to get up in the morning and go for a walk, and skip the bagel, and have a piece of fruit.

Congratulations for choosing to continue this journey! Regardless of how quickly or slowly you make changes in your fitness and weight, as long as you continue forward, you will ALWAYS be in a better place than if you had done nothing!

You CAN do this!!!! I have been on this journey for about 5 months now and I have had "cheat days", "lazy days", "special occasion days" and I have still consistently lost weight each week. The more you put into this, the better the results. You don't have to deprive yourself of anything, just don't go overboard and make sure you put EVERYTHING in your diary, that way you can really judge whether or not you really want that _______. Also remember that the more you exercise, the more you can eat on that day, I only try to eat back 1/3 of my exercise calories but it definitely allows for more "extras" that day.

Keep up the great work!!! You are in it to win it
