starting MFP

I had done this before, but it has been a while and I don't think I gave it 100%, this time I have to as I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My daughter is doing this with me, so it will not be like I am alone in this although she does not have to lose any weight, she is just my encouragement and my motivator.

Wish me luck.

Welcome back to MFP. It is so nice for your daughter to also follow the program. ::flowerforyou:

Connie - Want this. Don't tell yourself you "have to because...." because you don't. The choice is yours. You said you didn't think you gave it 100% last time. You didn't or you wouldn't be here again. I know - that was me a 100 times. I was a great starter but not a very good finisher. Then my mother-in-law moved in with me last January. She weighs 200 pounds, cannot walk without the use of a walker and must use oxygen 24/7. She endures indignities that I choose to work hard to avoid ...so I want this. I want this so I can watch my daughter graduate from college, get married and have kids. You want it too so you can ... watch your daughter graduate - get married - have kids - actively participate in her life. You want this so you can show your daughter that, just like you, she can set goals and follow through with them - whatever they may be. You do not need luck. Everything you need is inside of you because you want it.

I wake up every day and tell myself I want this and why. When I struggle with that...which I do still...I read the inspirational stories here at MFP. I look at my progress and the progress of others.
