"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use."
- Earl Nightingale
I realize that releasing 130+ pounds is going to take some time. When I think about how much time it is going to take, the task seems daunting. Then I remember a little saying I learned in Overeaters Anonymous (OA): One day at a time. One pound at a time.
There is no way I am going to release pound number 130 until I have released pound number 1! Logical? Here is an example of what I mean. If I want to climb a mountain, I have to do it a step at a time. Some of those steps are going to be baby steps ... some giant leaps ... and still some will be a slip backward ... and sometimes I am just going to have to sit down and rest. If I focus on the peak of that mountain (my goal) and keep heading in the right direction I will reach that goal as long as I don't give up. The same is true of releasing my excess weight.
So here is to conquering that mountain!!!
