MOTIVATION MONDAY - NEVER GIVE UP!

THIS...

YES! THIS...is something to ALWAYS remember!

Last week had been a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad..." week - to somewhat quote one of my favorite books! It was brutal. It was difficult. It was a constant tugging at my heart and plaguing of my mind to GIVE UP...forget about life and crawl back into my hole. Yes, I have a hole...it's not a tangible place, but it's the place I used to frequent when I was hit with one of the most debilitating episodes in my health journey. That hole is a place of self-pity, a dark place where a person is consumed by a cloud of hopelessness.

HOWEVER...I haven't gone to the hole in a VERY LONG TIME and honestly I never plan to go back! So when the above inspiration popped up in my newsfeed it was an awesome reminder (no pun intended...well...maybe!)

YOU'RE AWESOME*

*NO CONDITIONS APPLY.

YOU ARE JUST STRAIGHT UP AMAZING!

BELIEVE IT!!!!

So, you're on this journey to health and wellness!! How are you doing?? Are you making it? It's not as hard as some might make it out to be. I think the hardest part is our MIND. Yep - it's not our metabolism or our initial hunger pangs that are the issue.

It's easy to view a weight loss program as a DUTY. 

The doctor said I had to lose weight or... you fill in the blank.

The best way to succeed is to have the proper mindset about the whole thing! Seriously, make it a LIFESTYLE not a DUTY! WHY?!?! Well, are you married? Do you have children? Do you have parents? Do you have grand babies?
At the end of your days what will come to mind? Oh I wish I had bought the bigger house? Oh I wish I had watched the entire Scandal series? NO! What comes to mind is PEOPLE...RELATIONSHIPS!

So...why ARE you working on being healthy and whole???

THIS...is my Fit Farmer! (Looking good right!! -43 pounds down since February!)
