My losing weight and getting fit (body,soul and mind) is not a miracle that happens over night. It takes dedication, Lots of frustration and stress, trial and error and mega mega hard work. I put my self through all this because I am worth it. I know I will be a better me someday, It won't be tomorrow or next week, but slowly I am moving in the right direction. What I have to look forward to for all of this is... A happier me (very important), A skinnier me (to finally not shop in the plus size clothing stores), More energy to do the things I dreamed of someday doing and couldn't, To never take Sugar medicine, Blood pressure medicine, or Cholesterol medicines again. To feel whole inside and out. and to have a longer life span. Is this all worth it for all the struggles, the guilt I feel when I cheat or induldge.. Oh yeah it is worth it..I will live a longer life span too. So if anyone wants to give up, quit cuz it is too hard... sorry, but it is HARD work. I think I work harder on losing weight than for anything else in my life I have done. No one said it would be easy. No one said it would be fun. No one said you would like all the foods you eat. (I hate warmed up veggies, but I have learned to eat them and now some I look forward too). No one said LIFE was a piece of cake.. If this how you feel losing weight and getting fit is going to be like. I suggest you fly on over to another planet.. cuz it is HARD WORK and DEDICATION !!!

Laney,
Nice post, I hope your progress is going well.
Sometimes the motivation is supplied by commenting on what you're eating. Not to be malicious, but to try to motivate change. I quite enjoy it when MFP friends comment and offer advice/changes on what I've eaten the day before. As a result I hope to also see changes soon.
Good luck with your goals. I'm sure you'll get there.
