Thought for the day 😊

We need to have faith in ourselves and our abilities, truly believe we are in control of our eating and our health 😊 We CAN do this

Wise words Anna, nobody else is in control of what I eat - ONLY ME! Thanks. xxx

I couldn't agree more Anna! I shall try to keep it to the forefront of my mind, because when it comes to me, I doubt my abilities constantly, but when it comes to anyone else, I know they'll succeed! We're always so hard on ourselves! :)

Too true Moorless I am exactly the same. I can give anyone else a boost but always expect more of myself, I suppose that is why I failed so often in the past because I didn't reach the expectations I wanted to so gave in as it was easier. I have now learnt to have realistic aims and move the goal posts as I achieve them.

Precisely Bev, I even took things one step further. I wouldn't even start things for fear of failure! Now I know that you can only fail, if you don't ever try! :)

I also try to celebrate every achievement, no matter how small :)

Well said, Anna! ;)

That's going to me my motto for this week for sure. I am going to be challenging myself this week and next by trying different classes at my local leisure centre! I'm really looking forward to it but also have some reservations but I'm going to do it and do it well! ;)

I can achieve, I will achieve, I want to achieve!

You are right only we as individuals can help ourselves reach our goals. πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

I am full of fear and anxieties this week, for myself and people close to me, πŸ˜• also full of doubt about forthcoming surgery, pain and potential weight gain. But I CAN and WILL get through this and succeed in my goal to be a size 14 by Christmas 😊😊😊
