I've been so inspired by all my quilting friends who are also fighting the weight battle; I joined in. It's time! I hope you're doing okay! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512578127419665221.post-4505615597668025402010-04-12T04:07:13.330-07:002010-04-12T04:07:13.330-07:00I love how Denise said, "look back only to le...I love how Denise said, "look back only to learn" that is a very wise thing to say!! I think we are all prone to the "miseries" and "sad attacks" or whatever the hell they are from time to time and then we seem to summon our strength and keep trudging on. That is how I feel at the moment....like I am trudging and certainly not running or even brisk walking!! But I guess as long as we just keep moving towards our goal we will be OK. Please don't be disappointed in yourself....at least you are trying. There are so many out there that dont!!Nolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999422801245381422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512578127419665221.post-64984554533590928432010-04-07T06:52:06.272-07:002010-04-07T06:52:06.272-07:00I agree with Sara; dwelling on the past is so defe...I agree with Sara; dwelling on the past is so defeating to our future! I have struggled with my weight for ages; last night I was going through old pictures and was amazed to see myself ten, twenty, even thirty years ago--my perception of self has *always* been FAT. And unfortunately, I *grew* into it! Now I'm really battling. And it's miserable!<br /><br />Losing weight is *so* much harder than quitting smoking (which I did thirteen years ago). It takes a lot more discipline over a longer period of time! You can distance yourself from everything 'cigarette related' -- you have to have food to stay alive! <br /><br />You can do it. Look back only to learn, not to beat yourself up. Look forward to the benefits; healthier you, longer life, etc. I'm cheering you on!Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512578127419665221.post-9187455720018427752010-04-04T08:25:35.656-07:002010-04-04T08:25:35.656-07:00You can't look at this as complete failure - b...You can't look at this as complete failure - but as a bump in the road. You've already lost a lot and made some changes for the positive in other ways. You're taking another important step in getting your focus back and making yourself a priority. And it WILL PAY OFF! I have confidence in you!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.com
