I have found one of the keys to life... Work on yourself!... Give yourself a year and work on yourself... Then look back and see where you have come from... Too many people give up too soon... Give yourself time to change... You will fail at first, but keep getting up again.

Real change takes time. It takes time to go from bad habits to good ones.

We can succeed in findingnew ways to keep ourselves going. Fitness has become an addiction for me. I think its a good addiction though. I have to get my exercise in each day... Yes, I still struggle and over eat at times and I still need to work on that phase, but in a year, I see progress... I am not who I will be, but I am not who I used to be... I am still a work in progress...

2011 IS YOUR YEAR!!

    You are always so good with your words. :smile: Thank you...and my other MFP friends...for continual encouragement. Yes, I've seen progress in a year....not as much as I expected, but I won't let that get me down because I'm still better off than I was a year ago. :heart:

    Thanks for the inspiration! Your e-flock is always happy to hear your words of encouragement. There are so many facets of my life that I need to work on. I need to make a list and prioritize and get going. There is more to self-improvement than losing weight. That is well underway so I need to pick something and work on that now too.

    Have a sweet day, and Merry Christmas!!!!

    Thank you for saying what is so true. I know in my heart that it takes time for real change and that I need to be patient with myself. I love the way you say it. I need to give myself time because the true gift to myself is to keep working at it. I'm not who I was or who I will be, I am myself as a work in progress. I will keep your words in my heart.
