I have struggled with weight for 8 years. I gained nearly 100 pounds when I was pregnant with my oldest child. I have never since been able to lose it and I have felt like I am going to be this heavy for the rest of my life. However after venting with my trainer yesterday he told me something that will help me to do better. I KNOW I can lose this weight. I keep expecting it to come off and quickly but that isn't how it works. He told me that I need to be positive about getting healthy and do things that will benefit me. He said that I get too stressed over losing weight and getting healthy and that can keep me from losing the weight. It applies in my regular everyday life too. I am trying to move forward in my spiritual life as well and I can't because I am convinced that I will never be able to get there. I feel like I am stuck in a rut!
My trainer has no idea how much he helped me yesterday when he sat down with me and talked to me about my attitude towards my life. He helped me to realize that I need to be positive and I need to work hard but not TOO hard. It will come off. I will grow and learn.
I vow to be positive from here on out. I know that it is a process and I will probably have some days where Negative tries its best to get into my head but I will work hard to keep the negative thoughts away.
I can choose to be happy. I can choose to be positive, I can choose to move forward. Keep moving forward and Upward!
I CAN DO THIS!
Have a :0) Day!

Did you gain 100 lbs. overnight? I'm guessing if you gained it during your pregnancy that it came on little by little over the ourse of 9-10 months. I'm guessing you've fluctuated over the last 8 years, gaining some and losing some. But that weight most certainly did NOT come instantly. We need to remember that it doesn't go away instantly either. All we can do is the very best we can.

It works with working out, it works with losing weight, it works with everything. Every day.
