    Awesome post! So true and we all slip and it's great to know we can forgive ourselves.....I find the weight loss is much like my faith....I love having accountability partners that help me along the way....not to comdemn us when we slip but to guide us back on the right track. Ask us how things are going in our lives. If we can't forgive ourselves....how will God forgive us? Kind of on the same theory I like to think of...but we strive to be as Christ like as we can....but we will never be perfect....so we are forgiven by grace. : ) Thanks so much for posting. Just what I needed today. :smile:

    This post restored my faith in the MFP forums. Sometimes, we are all too reactive with bad posts instead of writing some "real" stuff that makes sense, and works. Thanks!

    You need to post this every week. We all get discouraged that we can't be perfect on our diets and exercise.

    You've got this Scott and welcome back!

    How do I bookmark this so I can read it again and again?
    I'm sending a friend request, I hope you will accept it. I am not "on a diet" I am changing my habits. I have made some really significant progress (finally under 200 pounds after almost 15 years!), but I know me and I am afraid that I will slip back.
    Thanks for writing this!

    Thank you! I mean that. I have been having a horrible time because I am continually "starting over". I don't have a ton of weight to lose (30 lbs) but it's been very hard. And I am surrounded by people who are able to start programs such as Insanity and do so well with them when I can't even finish the fitness test. :ohwell:

    I need to find what works FOR ME. I can't worry about what others are doing. I have to clear my own head. This takes time...but your post was very helpful.

    Thank you for taking the time to write it!
