Almost gave up entirely this morning. Why? Forgot about the pounds already lost, the way my clothes show my progress, how much better I feel, how much easier it is to move - all of it. Because - I had a good look in the mirror and decided my cheeks, jawline and collarbones should be more defined by now. At any age, I guess it’s true: “Vanity, thy name is woman!” What stopped me? I stomped off to the fridge to indulge and “there’s nothing good to eat in here!” It proves that it’s good advice to purge all the junk food early! 

It’s funny now. But it really was a very near miss. Don’t worry … I’m back. 

You know you have been a constant multi supporter on here and helpfull to everyone. I think all the socially active people on here adore you and are rooting for you. hang in there. And glad you didnt quit. :)  

Thank you! Such a nice comment 💕 It helps to be able to laugh at myself too. Which I did - as soon as I was done being mad at my fridge 😆 

Glad to hear it.  

No change ain't so bad! Means you didn't go backwards. Don't forget all the weight you lost to get to this point either. That's a lot of hard work you can be very proud of. Back at it! 

I agree with comments made by others. I think it is natural to become tired and frustrated when we are trying to make any change. I think your deep compassion for all (including yourself), courage to change and great sense of humour will pull you through. I find myself that I often need to remind myself as to why I am doing this and in the end how do I want to treat this body. (Ha, if only my actual experience was that smooth! ). May today be a day that allows you to simply have fun! ❤  

I agree with all the comments here. you have come a long ways and you will do this. and yes - not having anything 'good' in my house has saved me a few times. I live a long ways from town so there's no slipping out to the store to get something either. lol  

You’ve got this girl! You are always one of the firsts to give positive, uplifting comments to everyone else, we are here for you as well. We know you can do this!
