After talking with my best friend Beth today, it occurred to me that one of the main ingredients in losing weight is believing in yourself. Without the confidence to know that you can succeed and you can lose weight, how are you really going to make it work? If you don’t believe in yourself- who else is going to push you to lose the weight and get healthy?
Looking back on my journey over the past 9 months, I truly believe that while I have had supporters on this quest, the one person who believed that I could drop the weight was myself. It always helps to have someone there during the tough times, but what it ultimately comes down to is YOU. You are the only person who can control what goes in your mouth. You are the only person who can get your legs going on the treadmill.
So, ultimately it all comes down to YOU. So, if you are going to take on this journey of becoming healthy- why doubt yourself? The second you start doing that is the second you are bound to fail. Why not have confidence that you can do it? There is absolutely no reason why someone cannot get fit and healthy. You don’t even need a gym membership. Just get moving and watch what you eat. The guidelines are simple, but don’t sabotage yourself with a negative attitude.
Keep it positive and trust the process that you can and will change. It isn’t an easy battle, but it sure is a lot better when the person who is changing has confidence in themselves. So, keep yourself strong on the inside and it will come through on the outside.
You are my rock! Don't know what I'd do with you :)
