    Valentine's Day comes around and I start to feel the blues too, that's my moms bday and I miss her terribly. I get that way in November too, anniversary of when she passed away. One thing I remind myself is how proud she'd be to see me getting healthy and fit. Don't stop reminding yourself of why you are taking this journey and take it one day at a time. Missing someone is a natural thing, just don't let it control you.

    If I'm having a hard time, I try to think about what's going on. Is it too hard right now? Some weeks, I've decided all I want to do is maintain what I've accomplished so far.

    Sometimes that's a win, instead of thinking I'll lose 3 lbs this week, or 2 or even 1, and then giving up when I don't lose anything. It just depends on what's going on in the rest of my life.
