Sometimes it feels like what Im doing isnt working. Sometimes I feel like I cant run anymore. Sometimes I think that the couch would be waaay more cozy than the tredmill... Then I remember what Im working towards.

Since joining MFP, I have lost almost 15 lbs, but even more amazing than that, over 13 inches! Its insane that Ive lost over a foot off of my body!!

I have asperations of joining the Military and am working to make that dream a reality... and Im actually doing it.

When you think you don't have anymore to give, and you want to go back to your comfort food, remember what your fighting for... Is the taste worth not being able to play with your kids? Is it worth having to buy 2 plane tickets instead of one? Is it worth having to settle for the clothes you wear??

I dont want to come off as preachy, but I feel so incredible and hope that my journey can be enlightning. I have close to no willpower and Im DOING IT! I still have a long way to go, but I finally believe in myself enough to know I can do it this time! Best of luck to everyone :)

Give it all you got <3

    You are so right, it is a life of good decisions that we are making, a life of challenging ourselves to continue even if the scale and tape measure have not moved in the direction we want them to, it is a marathon, not a sprint. Sometimes our progress will not result in a drop in the scale but it will be a strengthening of our resolve to continue on in the direction we are heading.

    What a great reminder. You hit some really key points. I feel the same way you do, and I am doing it everyday. Everyday is a form of success for me because I am extremely lazy by nature, but I am doing it for my kids to be around a long, long time. I feel so much more alive since I have lost 27 lbs and counting. Keep it up girl, and you will be at your goal in no time.
