W2W's Journal, 06 February 2012

Thanks for the encouragement... just what I need right now!! Sounds like we're both sort of 'status quo' right now, but there may be one difference... you said you're on the journey 'until you reach your goal.' I feel more like this is my path of health now, instead of a detour until I reach the right road again. Life is uphill, always, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a battle... Should be fun if we have friends to join us. Have a great week!! <3 

Defniitely stay on the journey. Lots of good things ahead for you. 

Hey guys thanks for the support. Helewis I am so encouraged by you and Zippy congrats on the weightloss. 

Please stay encouraged. Only recently did I start including my new eating and life style change in my prayers. I felt food was something I should be able to handle but he wasnts me to cast all my burdens on him and for me food was a burden, that is making the right choices, eating for nutrion not for bordem or emotional eating. So now when I say I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, it includes healthy eating choices. Im ok with acknowledging that I need his strenght to leave those oreos on the shelf and purchase strawberries and apples instead! Thank you ladies for being here and I know he wants us to keep each other encouraged! 

Oh never give up..this will be a lifstyle..even after you reach goal..You can do it...and thanks for the encouragement..have a great evening...:O) 

Hang in there, keep those thoughts positive! You can do this! You've been doing it! Look how far you've come... Give yourself some credit for hanging in there. Making changes, healthier choices, isn't easy, we are surrounded by temptations and convenience. The world isn't diet friendly. So don't beat yourself up because even though the scale didn't move, guess what? it didn't move up either, right? So steady as she goes is much better than a gain. Hope you have an awesome week! 

Attitude is important on this journey and your positive attitude will get you to your goal and beyond. Plus your optimism is infectious and ministers to myself and others on this journey as well. Lifestyle changes aren't easy. Most of us have been living an unhealthy lifestyle for years. But each small step forward will change us and happily bring us to our destination.
