The last straw

[jsj0305]

I have absolutely had it with not being dedicated. I am soooooo tired of not feeling motivated. I had so much drive the other times, but I just feel like BLAH now. I HAVE to get back in the game, otherwise I'm going to stay Blah and get bigger. I'm feeling Blah, b/c I hate the way I look, and feel. I am bloated, and pissy. There is only one way out of this, and I know what I have to do.

I have to give this 100% and just do it. I have to trust in the process, and know that I will feel a million times better in a week. I bought all my stuff and I am ready to go. Money has been such an issue lately, but I don't care what I have to do. I will eat eggs, tuna, and salad until I'm 50 if I have to. I know what I have to do, it just REALLY helps to jot it down and have feedback.

I love you guys. Thanks for letting me piss and moan.

Well, I know I've always loved your humor.

Oh, wait. You said "pissy", not "pithy".

I am bloated, and pissy.

Hey, piss and moan all you want -- if that's what it takes to get you on track and motivated. It's sounds like you're pretty down on yourself, and that just ain't gonna work. You really are a special person, you know, and you've got to realize that -- realize that you are so special that you just have to do something great for you. And there's nothing nicer you could do than give yourself the gift of a healthy, happy body, and all the fulfillment and sheer joy of life that goes with it.

Sure you can do this. You know you can, because you know that you are WORTH doing it! Here's wishing you much -- so much -- success!

Of course you can this! Weren't you the one who graduated with honors from boot camp? Eh?

[PrinceJeff]

I know how you feel, jsj. Maybe next payday, I am busting butt to do this myself. I am 25 and almost 320 lbs and refuse to die at 45 from a stroke like my father did. Will I have to give up stuff I love like burritos and french fries? Yeah, but life is bigger than that stuff ya know?

(((((Chris))))) Thank you so much, you surly made me smile!! I am hard on myself. When I do something, I either do it or I don't. I'll give it 100% or none at all. I know I can't do that b/c I will have days where I am struggling and I have to accept that and keep pushing.

(((((Cleo))))) You always make me laugh. I love ya!

(((((Wanna))))) Yes I was. It was b/c I felt motivated, so I gave it my all.
When I couldn't keep going like that, I fell off b/c I felt like a failure.

(((((PrinceJeff))))) You're right, life is bigger than that....and I'm tired of being larger than life! Life is about running around with my son, w/ out being short of breath, about enjoying it all. Don't wait, do it today. I am BROKE, and I am going to make this work. I know I can. It will be gross having not much variety, but I eat to live, not live to eay, ya know?

I hate feeling like a failure. I have to change it. I have to look at it like I am going to get through today, even if it's hard. Even if I have cravings, I will make it through, and then at the end of the day, I know that I have succeeded. I don't have to do it with the best attitude every single day, I just have to get through.

Thanks for the advise everyone, it is very much appreciated and I love you guys for it.

I understand exactly what you mean about doing it 100% or nothing at all. That's how I am...or was. I now realize that as long as I'm TRYING to do it 100% then I am being successful. I still have bad days and good days but as long as I never give up and keep trying 100% then everything is ok. Never give up 'cause one day you will reach your goal. And join us in the vidiots challenge. That will keep you motivated and when you're working out you're more likely to stay on this WOE.

[jsj0305]

I definately am joining you over there!!!! I have to get this weight off, and it's not going to come off by itself. Today is a fresh new day and I will succeed!!!!

(((((jsj)))))

Progress, not perfectionism, is what it's gonna take to be successful.

You know we've got your back and are cheering you on all the way!
