    Shamelessly plugging my own post, cuz I can, and cuz I LOVE this post more then any other post I have written, and people haven't seen it in a while.

    Oh, and it's 50 pounds now, not 40! :tongue:


    :laugh:

    I have this hanging up in my cubicle.

    You should have used some will power to keep from da bump!!

    really well stated banks! Someone asked me the other day what I thought the difference was between the 1st of June and today. I said Today I am doing it. Period.

    Each day I make a choice to take care of my body.

    When I die, it wont be MY fault!

    Bumping

    This way I can use My Topics ( a place where I've stashed away a couple of your posts ) when I need to be reminded or need encouragement.

    I wanted to bump this cuz it's been out for a while and I think it's good to remind people every once in a while. I closely relate this topic to the idea of "give someone a fish and they eat for a day, teach them to fish and they eat for life.".

    I think one thing that helps me when my willpower quotient is low is to make a list of all the things that will be improved/different/more healthy when I achieve my goals. I can often use that to motivate me past the immediacy of something that really won't help me attain that ultimate goal.

    LOL, I don't know about a superhero. I'm just stubborn, persistant, and am not bothered by copius amounts of boring research.

    you can save in Favorites. Tip, make a new folder in favorites, then put them all in one place, and name them something you can remember easily. :happy:

    I save all the threads of interest to bump for us all later or rereads in my blog ( I have them in categories, called bumps and rereads..lol).

    I see Mike has the delete option working in there now..can I just say YAY!:drinker: I had so much extra junk in there when I combined all my links so I was able to delete tons yesterday when I found it was working:drinker: :bigsmile:

    Sure Hon, we'll find a mirror...:drinker: :flowerforyou: :tongue:

    thought I'd bump myself here. I think some people might be able to use the motivation and advice.

    I'm bumping myself because even though I wrote it, I still like to read it every now and again. I feel like this post is the reason why I have been able to stay healthy for all these months (wow has it been a year and a half already?).

    anyway, hope you guys get something out of it.
