I agree that I have to break this down into smaller goals - and celebrate when I reach them. I also have to quit beating myself up for every set back I have! <br /><br /> I am going to keep going! It sounds like you are making some great progress on your health and fitness journey right now! SERIOUSLY, that gives me such hope! Keep up the good work!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-7586969711579417992012-04-28T18:01:18.633-07:002012-04-28T18:01:18.633-07:00Adina, you are so Awesome!

I am realizing that I have to give myself some room to breath on this journey - because it is going to be a long one. I can't torture myself and feel discouraged with every little set back and disappointment for the next 2 years! I will end up driving myself crazy!<br /><br />Thank you for reading my blog, but more importantly, for supporting me and believing in me!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-25935354722147762872012-04-28T10:54:46.454-07:002012-04-28T10:54:46.454-07:00Losing weight is a disheartening adventure, for su...Losing weight is a disheartening adventure, for sure. I would suggest that as the other gals have said...take it one day at a time. If you have a bad day, instead of getting discouraged just tell yourself how easy it will be to be better tomorrow than you were today! Also, if you are just worn out and ready to give up altogether, give yourself a week to not think about it. Say to yourself, "Next Monday I'll start again, but this week I'm not going to diet." That way, you can give yourself an emotional break and not lose too much ground. In a week you can address the issue again and psych yourself up to be re-committed. I look at losing weight like looking for a job. What else can be so disheartening and hard on your self-esteem? But if you keep beating the bush, you'll find something great. Sometimes it only takes a few weeks, but usually it's a long, arduous process. Sometimes you need to give yourself a week off from job searching too. But then you start again and in the end you will accomplish your goals.<br /><br />I love reading your posts each week Connie. You are a strong and powerful woman. You are uniquely you. Being a certain weight doesn't change that. But if you want to be a healthier you, you can absolutely accomplish anything you set your mind to. Go girl! Take the world by the horns and be whatever you choose to be!!!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070528807624659363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486101634414115513.post-26735207067647210352012-04-28T09:40:02.391-07:002012-04-28T09:40:02.391-07:00Hi Sweetie.
