    You didn't get fat from one bad meal, you won't become healthy from one good meal. And vice versa on "treat" meals. One meal won't kill you, just as one good meal won't boost you through the roof.

    Good things come to those who work their *kitten* off and don't give up!

    It is okay to have that piece of cake and enjoy it, one piece won't make me fat.

    I understand what you're saying, but this attitude is what got me into trouble!!

    Losing weight is easy math and hard work, i.e. calories in vs calories out.

    I can not only do this lifestyle, but maintain this lifestyle, for the rest of my life and that feels beyond amazing.

    My life began when my doctor told me that I would have to change or die of heart disease. One day closer to my goal is one day more with my family.

    Being afraid that you'll fail this by overeating your calories on one day is like saying you failed at walking because you tripped.

    So true and a great reminder for myself!!

    Weight loss is 80% nutrition, and 20% fitness

    My mantra!
    FINALLY in my senior years I'm learning about how important nutrition is for a toned, healthy body & a happy soul!

    My first post! Hello everyone!:happy:

    ALSO - If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll be who you've always been!

    ALSO - I made me fat, (because of previous bad choices) only I can make me thin (by future choices best for me)!

    I will not be defined by how many times I failed. I will be successful this time because I know I am worth the work. I had to learn to love myself before I was truly ready to lose the weight.

    I love this quote because it is so true and it helps me to keep things in perspective.

    "Losing weight is hard, maintaining weight is hard, staying fat is hard; choose your hard."
