“I try to find balance and take things one day at a time. On tough days, I take it one meal, one snack, or even one bite at a time. I aim to be able to enjoy my favorite foods in moderation. Weight loss is as much (if not more) about the mental piece than the physical piece.”
“Don’t worry about what you’ll be doing in a year from now. You don’t live there. You live in the present and that’s the only thing you can control.”

“We get so frustrated when we don’t get quick results, it’s just the nature of the game…I just always had to remind myself that it’s a slow process, but quitting won’t speed it up.”
