I don't know why eleven has always been my lucky number. I have been on again off again, like so many of us, with plans to lose weight and get healthy. It is so easy to get discouraged. Today, it's 11/11/11. I realize it's magical thinking to imagine that starting a new effort today is going to make the difference that gives me that "fresh start" where I really do it and lose the weight. I am okay with magical thinking. I see my kids use their imaginations so brilliantly. We lose that as adults. I figure I need magical thinking, some good food planning, a decision to exercise that is renewed and acted on week after week, and some planning on how to relax (other than food) to have a chance this time. I'm a month and a half from turning 40 and today is 11/11/11. If not now, when?

    YOU GOT THIS :)

    I LOVE this....this has been said to me a few times and it's the most encouraging phrase I have ever heard.

    You can do it!! Knowing it's time for you do get on it and not give up is the first step to truly succeeding. I am 36 and been overweight for 20 years...and just now in the past few months I have lost almost 20 pounds and I know I am not quitting. This is it for me! Today is the day that feeling got to you....roll with it...and keep that attitude! YOU GOT THIS!!! :)
