quote of the day
"Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable." Harry Emerson Fosdick
To move forward I need to face my fears head on. I have a tremendous FEAR of getting fat and/or undoing all the hard work I have accomplished up to this point. I have to let go of fear and take a break from all this dieting. I need my body and mind to heal so that I can move forward and really accomplish my lifelong dream. FEAR has paralyzed me. The only way to overcome fear is to push through it. Truthfully..what is there to fear about gaining a few pounds as long as I am giving my best effort?

That’s a GREAT attitude. Can’t let a couple lbs send you over a cliff. Esp since this is a life endeavor…..a lifetime of health & fitness. Can always work a couple lbs back off. That’s my attitude today, after a horrible weekend with my diet.
Here’s another fav quote of mine, which touches on this (as I repeated to myself this morning): "Failure is an EVENT. IT IS NOT a person. Yesterday ended last night, and today is a brand new day."
