Permanent weight loss doesn’t come with an on and off switch. It is not something you do for a little while and think it is going to change your body.
No matter how big the glam squad, or how dramatic the dress, sometimes things just don’t work out.
I am in control of all decisions that have to do with my image, which means that no one will decide what’s right for me except me. I’m not special. We should all feel this way about ourselves.
I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love.
When you’re shopping you forget about eating!
I don’t get a chance to be home much.
When other people reject positive changes you make for yourself, there is always some nerve to get to the root of in those other people.
My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice.
There’s no heaven on earth. God would have to guide her through the problems.
The important message I heard about working out and what I want to share is that you create your own opportunities and your own limitations.
Whenever I’d try to talk myself out of going for a walk, and there were a few days like that, I’d take myself through a series of simple tasks so I would get up and go. 1. Get up. 2. Find your house keys. 3. Put on some shoes. 4. Grab your iPod. 5. Walk out the front door.
You have to want weight-loss success so badly that no mountain, river, or ocean could keep you from reaching your goals. If you have that drive, passion, and commitment, there is no way you won’t get there.
You can’t make a life-altering decision for someone else and expect it to stick.
You cannot just work out and then eat poorly and expect to lose weight. It doesn’t work that way.
When someone wants to lose weight, they will do whatever it takes. They can’t do it for anyone else but themselves. It has to be for them alone. Without that understanding, they will fail.
If you’re not eating the right foods in the right amounts, all the exercise in the world won’t combat the caloric intake.
If you can’t take responsibility for your own well-being, you will never take control over it.
Gaining control over your health and well-being is one of those times in your life that you get to be completely selfish and not feel bad about it. If you want to meet your goals, you have to make it about you. You have to make it work for you and you alone. Anything less is a setup for failure.
Avoidance is a great tool to get away from food in my face all day long.
Ye canna give up hope when that is all ye have.
