I have talked about this and shared it with people and posted a blog about it on my blogger at www.myworldsutopia.blogspot.com. My motto. Succeed today. It was some advice my husband gave me that he had come up with while fighting his own addictions and I live by it now. The most recent time I shared it with some one it seemed they must have liked it a lot cause they posted a blog on their blogger about it! I was so excited to see that it helped someone else...made me feel like I had "paid if forward" so to speak. I told my husband that even if it motivtated this person for only a little bit that we had helped him get that much closer to being healthy and possibly saving his life! See it does not matter how small something may seem to you, like you posted "yay" on a friends wall when they lost .4 lbs for the week or you gave them a recipe you liked that was low cal...It changes things! It helps motivate them and keep them going and then they can motivate and share the same things with others. And if they pass it on then you have now indirectly helped someone else and so on! So that one little "yay" ends up doing so much more in the grand scheme of things! I hold you ALL responsible, along with myself for my 31 lb weight loss so far! And when I get to my goal it will not only be because of my hard work but because you guys where there helping me keep to it. And you were there because of the people that motivated you and on and on. Anyway I just can't say how much it meant to me that it helped this person and they shared it as well. In fact it turned around and motivated me back, if that makes sence, to keep on going and keep on sharing and keep on helping others. So I just wanted to put this out there to as many people as I can. Succeed today! You can't have a do over on yesterday if you messed up and tomorrow is not here yet for you to do anything about. Don't even think about if you can do it forever. Just think about today. How many calories can I eat today? How much water have I had today? I gotta make some time for that work out TODAY! And at the end of the day you can look back and say, "I succeeded today"! It is not so overwhelming when you look at it that way huh? One day. You can do one day right?
