Are you sick and tired of carrying your extra weight around? Sick and tired of coming up with excuses as to why you're doing it? Sick and tired of quitting? Sick and tired of saying you'll do it next Monday? Then why not change your attitude? Put satan under your feet where he belongs and start looking up! You can change your life, but only you have the power to do that. I can't do it for you and no one else can. Stop quitting...stop saying you can't, and tell yourself you can and then commit to yourself to do it! It's NOT easy and it's going to be tough, but aren't you a strong enough person to do it? Sure ya' are! You are NO different than I am. I had to fight to get to where I am and I fight to stay there. Is it worth it? You betcha! Carrying around fat is HARD work.....bending to tie your shoes is hard work when you have a big burden in front of you.....so many things are harder when we're heavy. Being active and fit is soooo fabulous and so MUCH easier than being heavy! You'll never know how great it can feel if you don't allow yourself to succeed! Quit holding back and give YOU YOUR all! I know I've said it time and again..but YOU REALLY CAN DO THIS!!! It's not about finding the perfect diet plan or the perfect workout plan. It's about commiting to yourself to do SOMETHING and to STICK WITH IT...it's not about being on a plan then off a plan. It's about continually making better choices and taking better care of ourselves..it's about living active and getting out and enjoying God's wonderful creation! It's about making progress NOT perfection! You will NEVER be perfectly on plan for a long period of time so don't even try to be....MAKE PROGRESS...that's what you can stick with for the long haul.
Motivation is WAY overrated! Dedication is the key to getting the body you want. Are you ready to dedicate yourself?

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I really needed to hear those words. I made better food choices and walked two miles. You really encouraged me!! I'm going to keep making better choices and push myself out of that comfort zone. Thanks again Carla.

Wow you must have been writing about me. I am so ashamed of my 30 lb back slide. So tired of the clothes that don't fit anymore. Tired of getting up and hating not looking like I used to. But not willing to put any effort in. I'm going to make progress and not worry about perfection. Just focus on making better choices. I am going to start making good choices right now. Praying so hard that I am going to do what I Thanks for this message.
