When it comes down to it, being able to lose weight and maintain that weight loss requires lots of resolve on your part. The path between your current weight and the weight that would make you the most healthy and happy is a treacherous path. The example I give is like walking a tightrope on your journey. At almost every step of the way, there will be external forces and internal forces trying to knock you off the tightrope. Externally: well-intentioned friends or family members who implore you to eat food sources that will derail your efforts .."Oh come on, you look great,....you are getting too skinny....a little bit cant hurt you..." Internally: old instinctual and learned behavior patterns that make us want to reward ourselves with food sources.
You must have the resolve to "stay the course" and keep walking along that tightrope..do not allow the external and internal forces to sabotage your efforts. The pot at the end of that rainbow is a great one...being healthier, looking younger, having more energy, wearing those clothes you want to wear etc.

thanks for reminding us that WE are where the buck stops! every moment can be a start-over moment when we find ourselves off track...the secret is to make it the moment we are in right then and there...lol! even if we end up making a mistake...we must start right back to the program immediately to teach ourselves what to do right the next time we are tempted! how cool is it that we have the ability to learn from our mistakes?!
