Great post!!!! Such an important topic. I used to believe I could never lose my weight, it just didn't seem possible. I was too old, too arthritic, I worked too many hours, etc. Then I decided I had to take control of my healthy and made a conscious decision that I COULD do it and I WOULD do it. I found dietbet that month and never looked back. Positive thinking will propel you forward. It is all about changing your story. It takes practice but learn to listen to the voices in your head and catch the negative self talk and re-frame it for yourself. And don't let anyone else tell you differently!

Thanks for the inspiration. I struggle with drinking wine and eating way too many calories at night. I've added 20 minute works every morning and have lost only 2 pounds. I have 4 more to go to meet the challenge. Determined to give up the wine!
