You have the power Rarely is anything ever as difficult as you first imagine it to be. More often than not, the greatest difficulty you must overcome is convincing yourself to get started. Imagine what would happen if you could simply stop fighting with yourself and could just go ahead with whatever needs to be done. The great and empowering fact is, you can. What if all the energy you put into avoiding effort was suddenly redirected into productive action? It can happen much more easily than you think. What if you stopped making excuses and started making real progress? The good news is, you don't have to just imagine it. You have the power to get yourself started. You have the power to overcome all those complaints and worries, anxieties, doubts and excuses that exist only within the confines of your mind. For you control your mind, and your mind directs your actions. Make use of that awesome power, and truly great things will quickly begin to happen. -- Ralph Marston

Really good post Marsha..... Following this thought... I have always adhered to the notion that we ARE our own worst enemies. Think about it....look back at some of the situations that we as obese folks (or former obese folks) that we have found ourselves in. What made us obese? Not just food...but deeper than that. What made us eat? Who are we and where are we at in our walk to become healthier and more vibrant. The old standard notion that we are butterflies is actually pretty darn close to the truth. We are emerging. Not just in a better physical shape (as in body) but also changing. Who we are, who we REALLY are deep down inside is emerging... It truly is a wonderous transformation. Wonderful post kiddo... Elizabeth~

Thanks for the motivator, it is so true! I need to live by those words. Penni
