    Slow and steady wins the race.
    It’s okay to stumble. Pick yourself up and keep moving forward.
    You can do this!

    Knowing how sexy and strong I will feel In the end of all the hard work and dedication!!!!!
    Eating fruits/veggies with every meal gives me energy
    Exercising and yoga is extremely stress relieving and I always feel better after
    Telling myself I love you/you’re amazing/you’re beautiful/ talking with myself like i am my best friend
    Doing what I love drawing/reading/writing/dancing/singing
    Meditating
    Knowing that doing what makes me feel good makes me feel good.
    Knowing that thinking about what makes me feel good makes me feel good

    If I don’t do these things I will continue to feel miserable.

    Peace & blessings! 💫

    What keeps me on track is finding postive in everything...getting up @ 0330am...I am awake before I hit the shower. my workout is done, and my day is mine. it is quiet, and I am taking time for myself.
    I remember what it felt like to be hot, uncomfortable, and tired ALL the time...I will never be that person again. So, daily I do what is right for my body...do I fail some days? sure....it is a journey that neverends...and I am a human being. But getting up the next day, and starting again is what matters.
    Good luck on you journey.

    I tell myself that the more I do (fitness-wise), the more I can do (in the future). I want to be able to hike and bike with my husband for a long time.

    Incremental progress is the path to happiness so I try to always have a mini goal going on.

    I also think of the health benefits. I imagine myself in my 60s climbing a mountain or going for a long hike. My in laws are overweight and unhealthy and they can't walk for 30 minutes let alone long hikes like I enjoy.

    Struggling with this as well, I've lost quite a bit of weight in the past but its been creeping back up the last year. Just trying to get back in the headspace - trying to stay out of the spiral mode. Recognizing little/non scale related victories is helpful for me.
