    It's true. The moment you decide, you've already succeeded.

    Exactly. If you aren't mentally ready to make the change, don't bother. There are no excuses if you really want it bad enough.

    That It Looks Really Funny If You Capitalise Every Word.

    And also that sticking your neck out and trying to help people can pay dividends.

    Once You're Disciplined To Enough To Make A Lifestyle Instead Of A Chore It's Smooth Sailing

    As someone who's maintained her weight and never been overweight, I don't think it's ever completely smooth sailing.

    Yes, it does help to internalize the values of being healthy and active and they structure your days. But it's a daily challenge and as you get older, you usually have to become more, rather than less vigilant.

    Agree, once it "clicks" it sticks.

    I agree with the OP. If you see it as a challenge, then it is. Once you stop looking at it as a sacrifice, it ceases to be one. For example, if I want a cookie, I have one. But most of the time, I don't want it. So in that regard, it's neither a challenge nor a sacrifice to not eat the cookie. I think that getting to that place is something that most people struggle with. That's the challenge.

    This!! When I first started on here I had no friends at all and it really wasn't much fun - I just logged in and put my foods and/or exercise in for the day - I wasn't really motivated at all. BUT now that I have so many WONDERFUL MFP friends I absolutely can't imagine my day without all of them and their encouragement and support - Like I am ALWAYS saying - I have THE BEST MFP Family EVER!! I am so glad to have found this site!!:heart:


    ETA: Was that too long? lol

    That people who surround themselves with armies of dedicated, driven, hilarious, serious when they need to be, supportive fun people wake up all of those qualities in themselves.

    That I can have a treat or even a whole day of treats and start over directly after. I don't have to stop & give up.
    Oh! And that I need to see it as a treat and not a cheat. :drinker:

    It's also a good way to lose your head.
