So I was looking through a cookbook today that was given to me by my sister. While reading the introduction, I came across this and wanted to share. It spoke to me and I hope it will speak to a few of you as well.
"A woman who lost half her weight was asked how, how fast, and what she had to give up to lose the weight. This is what she said:
"A woman who lost half her weight was asked how, how fast, and what she had to give up to lose the weight. This is what she said:
- It has taken me every day. Not six weeks, not six months. Every day. I start again every day.
- I gave up bad habits one at a time. I gave up excuses. I gave up blame. I gave up sugar and bad carbs. I gave up short cuts and fake stuff.
- I took advice from my body about what was working and what wasn't. I took advice from people who had won, not people still at war. I focused on one path instead of chasing miracles.
- I celebrated every win. Some days it was a new number or a new size. Some days it was an airplane aisle without turning sideways. Some days it was someone saying, "All the cute clothes are for little people like you". Some days it was just being able to put the bread down, spit the sugar out, or stop before regre! And honestly, some days I celebrated being able to start again tomorrow.
- I made time for success. I prepped, I planned, I scheduled it. success in anything has to be scheduled.
- I quit waiting for a better time. "
