MFP Declaration of Independence

Good morning my gorgeous MFP family. Most of you know me, my name is Ed. I have been here (and logging everyday) since January 2010. About 6 or 7 months ago about 15-20 of my MFP friends “voted” to make me MFP community president. One even asked me to come up with a Constitution. Now of course that’s silly as there are a gazillion people on here but I am going to roll with it (lol :flowerforyou: ). So here is our MFP Declaration of Independence. Don’t worry my loves it isn’t that long.
We the peoples of MFP have decided from this day forth to declare freedom from so many attitudes and beliefs that have held us back. We realize that we are wonderfully and lovingly created and worthy to pursue a happier life. In that spirit we have adopted the following beliefs and attitudes.
1. We recognize that our best is the best we can do and we will be proud of that.
2. We will not measure ourselves against what others have accomplished but be proud in what we accomplish.
3. Our self worth will not come from whether we had a great work out or “was under for that day” but in the fact that we are making positive changes in our life.
4. Tomorrow is a new day and we will not beat ourselves up for any perceived “failures”. If we are trying we can never fail.
5. We can and will meet all of our goals.
6. We will support those around us as we were support.
7. The words give-up is erased from our personal dictionary.
That is it my loves. I would just add as a side note that you need to know and own the fact that you are gorgeous, sweet, and wonderful. When I look at you I see stunning beauty and an incredible heart. You make this cowboy proud each and everyday. You inspire me! Let’s face it, YOU TOTALLY ROCK! Have a kick butt day and know you are adored. :flowerforyou:
Blessings,
Ed

Hey there Ed. I just wanted to say, your DoI was exactly what I needed this morning. I didn't lose as much weight this past week as I could have, but your words reminded me that I am doing something for the long term...a significant lifestyle change that will forever benefit me. Just because I only lost one pound this week is not a fail; rather, an indication that I am doing something right. Now, I just need to add more "right" to my regimen and less Bacon-Wrapped Scallops. LOL0

I love all of it, but my favorite is: "If we are trying we can never fail"
Really needed to hear that! You are awesome!0 -
