I'm not looking back...

Postby tmacias » June 24th, 2007, 9:46 am

I will be 40 this year and decided I had enough of living ashamed because of my weight. I've tried many diets but I realize it's not just the diets that let me down but my attitude. This is my third day and I get the occassional stomach that is growling but I'm still determined to stick to this new life style. I can't give up on myself. I started taking a genunine concern of myself by loving myself more, as I do my friends. Quit worrying what everyone else is thinking. I feel the one thing that has motivated me more is the honesty to myself. (loving myself unconditionally even when I mess up, saying positive words to myself) I get back up again and shake it off...I love this quote by Abraham Lincoln- "I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back."
:lol: New motto/ mission for life: Invest In Me!

The first three days are the hardest ... after that it will get easier and easier as your body adjusts to the new eating program. You'll have those pesky pounds gone before you know it!!
Welcome to our group and remember the group is happy to help you along your journey!! :D

Good for you! I find that sometimes the hardest part of the program is handling my own conversations. Once I do that, the rest falls into place. I think the attitude that you have right now will be a key to your success.

I have restarted and I'm not looking back I have my 3 year anniversary coming up in a few months and I want to go on a cruise (local) and I also want to look good when I go see the in laws in Florida for the Christmas break! I have so much to look forward too. I'm not turning back after this few month stall of too many carbohydrated alcoholic beverages, smoking cigs (def not a smkr), and nights that turn quickly into morning and birds singing before I even hit the mattress are GONE FOR SURE!

Congrats and I'm joining the club!

That was exactly my life a few years back and one of the ways I got so heavy. Glad you're leaving the rock star persona behind!
