Quote of the Day
"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."
~Norman Vincent Peale
Changing our lifestyle and getting rid of bad old habits is not for the timid. It is a major overhaul and it takes a great deal of determination and hard work. It's not a task for sissies. If you don't believe in yourself, you won't do it.
You have to be prepared to stand up to that bag of chips, that package of cookies and those co-workers with candy dishes and walk the other way. It's not always easy to do that, especially in the beginning. But I can tell you that every time you make it through the day, it becomes easier. Each day, you will become stronger.
I know that you can do it. I've seen it done and lead people down the path to success. The only difference between needing to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds is the amount of time it takes to lose it. The rules to the game are all the same. Rule #1. You MUST believe in yourself. It doesn't matter if I do or your spouse and family and friends do. YOU have to. Once you honest to goodness believe you can, you will succeed!
When you really believe in yourself, you won't make excuses to yourself. There will be no need for that. Each day will be it's own motivation and you will face it with enthusiasm and the knowledge that you are in control. What a wonderful way to face the day!
