I just read something on Oprah's website that I just have to share with you all!
What caught my eye was the link about the woman who lost 530lbs. I saw the headline and thought...if someone can lose 530lbs, I sure as hell can lose 85lbs!
So, I read on. I came to about the 4th story and read the following: "Since making the commitment to lose weight, Bunny has lost 267 pounds. Now, she devotes her time to inspiring others. "You have the ability to change," she says. "Yes, it's hard work. You have to eat less and exercise the rest of your life. If you fail, struggle, you pick yourself up. … It's possible.""
She is absolutely right... We HAVE the ability to change! It's already there! We are born with the power of discipline and commitment. It's not like we have to search for it. We just need to use it.
I guess it's a matter of facing the facts. If I want to lose 85lbs, I need to make some sacrifices and I need to accept a lifetime of exercise and portion control. I need to acept the rules to the game.
Well, just felt that inspiration and had to share. I think I'll print out a couple of those stories and tape them to my fridge. If she can do it, so can I!!!!

Positive thinking is key!! Sucess stories like that can really motivate you, no matter what your size. Whether we have 20, 50, 80, 100+ pounds to lose doesn't matter, we are all in the same boat. We all must keep the promises we make to ourselves and make the changes that we can stick to for life.

Yayayaya!!! That's RIGHT girlfriend!! WE CAN! WE ARE! WE WILL SUCCEED!! There is no other option for me, in my mind. I am doing this and I will NOT quit... I will continue for the rest of my life, living each day to better myself, better my health, better my livelihood for me and my family. I can't give the best me to my family, as a mom and wife, without being the BEST ME, I can be! I have NO DOUBTS, WHATSOEVER, that this is a reality and success is the only option. *hugs* =D

You should print out this journal entry and stick it on your fridge too!! To remind you how positive you are feeling now, if your dedication slips a bit.
I suppose anything is possible, if you really put your mind to it. So we should just do it. :)
