“It’s not about motivation or inspiration, it’s about being consistent. If you do the right thing each day, those days stack on top of each other and cumulate to give you the result you want. Quitting only guarantees your results and it’s not the result you were looking for.”
“When I am having a tough week, I also try to reflect a little bit – Am I making meals that I am excited about? Do I have a busy week coming up that I really need to focus on meal prepping for? When I’m able to pinpoint exactly where I can improve, I’m good to go!”
“I tell anyone wanting to lose weight that this is a marathon and never a sprint, you don’t have to be the fastest to cross the finish line you just have to cross it and if you put that in your mind I promise you things will fall right into place.”
I love the saying, “Being overweight is hard and losing weight is hard…choose your hard!” And it is so true! It is so hard either way, but one must figure out what are the benefits of the hards!
“Get out of your head and do something to make yourself better! You will never regret it.”
“I still remember the first person — he was an acquaintance, not someone who knew I was actively trying to lose. I almost hugged him when he mentioned he could tell I lost weight!”
“All of the clothes I had before are falling off of me! Which is a huge mind game. Sometimes when we look in the mirror we don’t see the changes! But they’re there, for sure!”
“It’s NOT easy. Change is hard for anyone… but it’s worth it. YOU are worth it. If you don’t work hard to love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?”
“I’d then notice my old clothes getting too big and clothes I’d had for years were fitting me for the first time. It was the best feeling, knowing I’d bought those clothes telling myself “this will fit me one day” and that day had finally come.”
“The greatest part about WW is that I get to eat what I want and purchase my food wherever I want and no one tells me what to have or not have. I make those choices. My successes are mine!”
