Hello everyone,
I stop and start things without usually finishing them--this year it's going to be different!! My goal is not perfection, it's acceptance. My mantra will no longer be all or nothing, but progress, not perfection. The inner voice whispering all those negative messages will be silenced and replaced with kindness and forgiveness and encouragement. If I keep putting these things off until it's "just the right time", they will NEVER happen. NOW is the just right time!!!!
It's hard for me to stay focused and motivated and disciplined--I'm hoping this will help.
Happy and Healthy New Year to myself and to all of you.
Catniss

    :smile: I do Zumba 3xs a week and it's my FAVORITE workout! I lost 5 inches off my waist:blushing: in under 3 mos. It really works. So fun!

    Well said Catniss, i also used to think in terms of all or nothing. I wanted instant weight loss or else it just wasn't worth it. I cringe now to think i had that attitude.

    Your words are my sentiments exactly. We will reach our goals and MFP will make the journey a :happy: one. I have been on this website for 4 days and have already spoken to some amazing, inspiring and funny people. God bless you all you are truly AWESOME :love:

    Hey, I just joined as well and I came on board with the same mantra. So far, it is really working. Getting healthier has never felt so great! There is no guilt or disappointment. Just motivation and excitement. :)
