Yea, it's Friday and the forecast - 80 degrees and sunny. Don't you love days when everything is going great, the sun is out, the birds singing and HCG life is fabulouso??? I am THANKFUL for those days when all the water gets consumed, the meals fall together perfectly, and I rejoice over an apple. :) Those days need to be BURNED in our memories because there are some days that are polar opposite. We ALL have them. Yes?
Creating a place of remembrance is critical in life, period. I told someone last night, make certain to record your weight. Then, when you are struggling, you can go back and have a VISUAL reminder that you did make a stand for your health and have experienced success! Having a visual of where you want to be IS NOT BAD, but having a place of remembrance is also a GOOD THING! We all need places that are safe where we can return and see a victory, see where someone helped us or stood with us, a place where we overcame an obstacle. That's another reason to keep our "before and after" photos current. When people want to "tempt" us to return to our OLD mindsets about food, which dragged us to obesity, by commenting, "oh, a little of _______ won't hurt you, " or "everything in moderation," we have the photos to serve as a place of remembrance of where we came from and where we plan to NEVER return! People mean well, but many of them have not been in a fight for their lives and they don't understand the victory dance as we do. wink!
Finally, let's serve as reminders to one another. I see your comments, your photos, your dedication and I will help you remember your victory journey. Stop today...........STOP..........look at your photos and celebrate where you've come from and celebrate that you've chosen a different path. AND if you've strayed from the path, dance your silly self back on the bath and do what YOU KNOW is right and stay on the path. Let's remember together this day.
Choose life and eat to live, PK
