I havent been on days. I havent worked out in WEEKS. Eating terrible food.

Only thing running through my head is "You're better than this; dont go back to that lifestyle. MY BODY DESERVES BETTER"

I need words of motivation! Anyone else feel like this?

    I just started a couple months ago and I love this. The best thing to do is just log everything and notice little things you can make a change in. When I don't have time to exercise, I try to at least walk a little further or take stairs. I also saw someone post about running in place while watching tv. I might need to try that! We are here for your support. Add me if you would like.

    The only people who never fail are those who aren't doing anything. It's not how many times you fall its how many times you get back up.

    SO.... Get up!! It's time to get moving again.

    Now Get Crackin'

    Whoah. Step back a moment and breathe....

    First off, it is ok to get off track. It is totally ok!! Everyone who has ever been successful at weight loss has gotten off track. Success is not measured in being able to follow a plan perfectly but being able to get back on it when you fall off.

    Second of all, you're stressing yourself out too much over the thought of failing. This stress can set you up for failure. Instead, try not to think about what you have not done but more about what you can do. Wipe the slate clean and begin again.

    Today is my second day and it has been rough. I have a supportive partner and he is great but I love the support that I am seeing here. It is hard to share my thoughts on the subject with him when he is very in shape and has always worked out. It helps me to not put things in my mouth when I have to write them down and hold myself accountable.

    But hopefully here I can make a new kind of support, new friends and a new start to a new me!

    Vincent Lombardi said, "The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince". I have this quote on my fridge, my eliptical and my computer at work. This helps me keep on track with my compulsive eating, and motivation to keep exercising when I want to give up on the eliptical.

    Bellie!!!

    You have to make this journey for you and no one else. I can give you all the advise in the world. I can tell you what to read, what links to search on the internet, what foods to eat, what tapes or DVD's to purchase, what gym you may get the best support from; however, it is UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO COMMITT TO YOU that this is what YOU need for YOU that I can or any can help you. I am sorry, you must take that first step.

    Questions, I ask myself each day, is it worth it? Do I want to feel better, and be without all the extra meds etc... Why I am eating all this stuff? What is up with that behavior? Do I really want to eat the food or is there a reason I eat the food. I am searching my soul to find out the why!!!!

    Why do I put myself through this torture. I need to focus on dealing with life without my best friend, FOOD!!!

    I have decided to COMMIT each day to make it the best day it could possibly be. I can by FIRST, taking care of me! Are you taking care of "ME"????

    These are questions you can only answer... Good luck!

    Now, when you are really ready for to embark on your journey and need advice or support along way, I will be there for you.

    Over and out!
