I watched this short video of Tracy Ellis Ross in which she talks about the most inspirational quote she's heard, and for some reason it really hit me in an emotional way - not just in regards to weight loss, but to the rest of my life too.

Please watch. And then promise us "Yes, I can do that."

    Thanks for sharing that! I will do that.

    I recently came across this quote from her that I found really helpful,

    "Wisdom means to choose now what will make sense later. I am learning everyday to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be, to inspire me and not terrify me."
    - Tracee Ellis Ross

    @sarahlynn78 I like that too! I love the idea of imagining that space everyday and falling into it and being inspired by it. It's so easy to instead feel defeated by it.
