    Keep at it! Overcoming the desire to quit is a really powerful motivator for the next time. Put your sneakers on and go for a walk, move or just dance with a friend. This is a marathon and not a sprint. And YOU CAN DO IT!!!! (Now go to it! :smile: )

    How about just doing it even if you don't want to. You never regret doing something that is going to change your life (although, you get scared of it and avoid it). But you almost instantly regret making a decision to not do something that will make you healthier/stronger/lose more weight. So just do it. You're either going to regret it now AND later if you don't. Make your body happy and make you happy.

    Take care of yourself. Exercise for yourself. Not for anyone. Because you and your body need and deserve it.

    I look at it this way.....

    When I am stripped of everything else, all I have left is my word. I have made promises to others that I will change my bad habits for the better. Having said that, I do not ever want to see these same people a year from now in the exact same state that I am in.

    MY WORD IS EVERYTHING! Don't let yourself down. If you don't do it...no one will!

    I really like this.....I would be very sad if I saw those same people a year from now, and I looked exactly the same. Thank you for these words.

    I was this way over the weekend. I was in a really bad mindset...I ended up taking a few days off and regrouping. Since Monday, things have been much better. I just had to think about the pros and cons, and evaluate if I really wanted to continue to feel like I do now for the rest of my life. I decided that wasn't what I wanted! Make a list of the pros and cons of continuing to eat healthy and exervise vs. not. Also review your goals/motivations! Most important, just do what is going to make you the happiest, healthiest person that you can be.
