    You can keep it up. You did a great job. Keep going. You can do it.

    I once played a round of golf with a Scotsman, on that day my game was worse than normal. I was becoming frustrated that my ball was going everywhere but down the middle of the green.

    The person I was playing with seemed very relaxed and just happy to being playing a round. After a few holes of very bad playing we where at the T for the next hole and again I hit a bad shot;

    He turned to me and said "Don't worry about it, it went left but it still went forward, where getting closer to the green already"

    Don't know why but this has stayed with me from that day and I try and look at everything in the same way. Including this journey, as long as I am moving forward, whether its another pound lost, or I see that the healthy food I am eating give me the energy to be positive and active and always moving forward one small step at a time.

    Howdy, howdy, howdy!

    I have all the same fears you do, in fact I think that most of us here who are trying to lose weight do, but just remember this...."I am doing the best I can, right now"

    I have severe OCD so I will sit here and weigh myself 1000 times and watch all these diet shows only to get mad at myself because I haven't lost 60lbs in a month, I know how unrealistic that is but it eats at me anyway.

    Just remember to be proud of what you have accomplished and be proud whether you lose 8 ounces or 8lbs!!

    You're dong wonderfully so far, keep it up and please feel free to friend me if you would like to, I always love new friends :)

    Just remember that if you have a slip-up one day, you eat half a cake or a bag of chips or something, say to yourself,

    "This is today. Tomorrow I will start all over."

    And that's that.

    And yes, I did have a day where I went crazy and ate half a cake.

    Oh, and don't lie to yourself. If your loss slows down, take a look at what you're doing different and don't make excuses. Some people will slow down anyway, that's just the human body, but sometimes we need to kick ourselves in the butt.
