Taught Me A Lesson

edited September 2024 in Success Stories
I've been feeling down about straying away from my goals. I've been really good with exercise , but really bad with food. So, in the back of my closet I found a pair of dark red pants I could fit in... two, three years ago? Size seven. No way I'd be able squeeze a thigh in there! Decided to teach myself a lesson about slacking before the job was done, so I tried to slip them on.

And - they slipped on!

So who learned what lesson there? :laugh:

Five more pounds and they'll fit well enough that I believe they will become my everyday pants. And that might just be the motivation I need - a positive one! It's not all about what I still need to achieve, but also about what I have. So the next time you feel down - remember what you have done, and that should inspire you to keep going. :flowerforyou:

    Great! I think having goal clothes is a good idea.
