Each and every one of us has the ability to continue on this journey. It comes down to desire. You have to want it. Mom, Dad, Chris and I can't make you want it. Your spouse can't make you want. Your kids can't make you want it. You have to want it. Maybe you will want to do it for them but you have to make the mental leap from should-do-it to want-to-do-it.
Like I said to Angie in a comment in her last post - we all have the ability. What we need is the will power. We have all overcome such great obstacles in our personal lives that beating food should be a piece of cake (pun intended). We are strong as individuals but, far more powerful as a group. Reach out to us - we have all been through what you're going through. We're family. That's what this blog is about - doing something together that we couldn't do alone.
If its midnight and you want that meatball (bowl of popcorn, pint of ice cream, golumpki, box of chinese food or whatever your poison is) - call me or Chris. We tend to be up late but if we're sleeping, we'll still be glad to talk you down. If you don't feel like you can reach out for help, than we are not doing our job. But we can only do what you will let us do. It is imperative that you first decide that you really want to be healthier.
Show us the power of YOUR attitude!

Okay Okay I did not have the Meatball... Chris stopped me..Just kidding..I thought it was funny the way you used meatball after friday..... You are right they cant do it for us we need to do it ourselves be it may for anyone or anyhting else.. And you talk about if any one needs you, they can call you but what about Katie.. So I want you to know that no matter what time the phone and door is always open for you
I am so lucky to have such great sister in laws I love you all
Thanks Angie! I really appreciate it.
I love you all too!
Excellent Katie!!! Both your words and the video are a good boost for me. I know only I can make it happen for me....it depends on how bad I want it. And I want it BAD!!! So no more excuses for me. I started writing down everything I eat and weighing my meats and fish, which is something I never did before. I KNOW I WILL HAVE A LOSS FOR THIS WEEK!!! I'm determined to reach my goal! I got a little lazy because the doctor told me I was in excellent shape (for my age). So I thought "why bust my butt to improve any more?" Then I realized I didn't complete what I set out to do, and I'm NOT a quitter!!! So I'm back on the wagon rearing to go!!!! Anyone want to join me?
Woohoooo!!!
I got a little shiver and goosebumps when I read, "Then I realized I didn't complete what I set out to do, and I'm NOT a quitter!!!"
We are all going to do it - I know all of you and none of you are quitters!
