My Journey is not your journey.

My journey and my path to lose weight is not your path, Your path is not my path. I see too many people get hinged on what those around them have done. You can do it, everyone on this site can accomplish the goals they dream, desire and so desperately want. You can do it, every single one of you. Just remember you have to find the way that best fits you. Best part of this site is there is people all around you on their journeys and paths can intersect.

Not going to lie, it's not easy, its not always fun. (Though sometimes it's downright fun) The scale is going to make you angry, you will most likely eat something and think DANG IT. That is all part of your journey. Funny enough we will look back at those times and realize that the hard time we put in to make ourselves better were actually good times. I look back when I first started and I remember how miserable I thought this was going to be. Well fast forward 7 months later, I don't even realize I'm on a diet. I enjoy working out, and I look back at the people I've met on here and at the gym and I think, why did I never do this earlier. I mean I tried to diet before, but I never fully bought into the program/desire/want to accomplish this. I wanted a fast fix, to give a year up to be able to go back to how things were before. I'm here to tell you once you start the path you don't go back to how it was before.

You guys are all awesome, no matter how little or how much you have to lose. This is hard yet fun times we are all going through. Just know when you are feeling down or you might fall off the wagon, others around you are doing the same thing. We are all trying to push ourselves further and further. You can do it, one foot in front of the other, day by day. Keep at, keep moving, learn from your mistakes and just don't ever quit. You deserve it.

I leave you with a quote.

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right" — Henry Ford

Just for the record, I think you can.
