Less of Me, Wk#34 & Wk#35

I am happy to be back on track. While this week was very challenging for me, I did manage to lose weight and not gain like the last 2 previous weeks. This week I lost 0.6 lbs. I know to some it may not look like a big loss but it's a step in the right direction. Finally, a victory! I'll take it no matter how big or small. I now weigh 164.8 lbs for a total weight loss of 46 lbs. Woo Hoo!!

I want to share a poem with you today about not giving up. The author is unknown but it was adapted by a Weight Watchers leader, R. W. Brown.

Don't Quit (Weight Watchers Version)

When you've eaten too much and can't write it down and you feel like the biggest failure in town:

When you want to give up just because you gave in
and forgot all about being healthy and thin:

So What!

You went over your points or comfort zone a bit: it's your next move that counts..... so don't you Quit!

It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change:
It's learning the skills to get back in your range:
It's telling yourself "You've done great up til now;
you can take on this challenge and beat it somehow!"

It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal;
you're still going to make it, just stay in control.

To stumble and fall is not a disgrace if you summon the will to get back in the race.

But often the strugglers when losing their grip just throw in the towel and continue to slip and learn too late when the damage is done that the race wasn't over and they still could have won.

Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow, but facing each challenge will help you to grow.

Success is failure turned inside out. It's the silver lining in the cloud of self-doubt.

When you are pushed to the brink, just refuse to submit: If you bite it JUST write it... but don't you QUIT!
