I love this post. Thanks! I'm on Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (day 3). Eating my breakfast right now & was thinking how I miss the Bull$*%t I ate that got me where I'm at. At the same time reading your post I am encouraged to do what I set out to to do. I'm dedicated to enduring this 97 days successfully!2

Let me pile on too! :bigsmile:
This has rung so very true for me too. I loved the analogy to quitting smoking because it really is *just* like that. I personally know several people (myself included) that struggled internally with quitting smoking. I tried a few times to stop, but it wasn't until I truly *DECIDED* I was done that the battle was finally won. And then it became easy. Peaceful. Those other people? They haven't gotten there yet and are still struggling and smoking. They're just not really ready I guess.
I've given several people the link to this thread now. Thank you very much for posting it.0 -
