I saw this on the WW message board and it really spoke to me-
If you're "interested" in losing weight...
* You stick with it only until something better comes along (such as doughnuts)
* How you feel determines your outcome. If you don't 'feel like it,' you stop your efforts.
* You need to see results. When the scale doesn't move, you lose your motivation.
* You blame everything else (people, travel, circumstances) for your struggles with staying on your diet.
* Whenever you face challenges in life, you give up and plan you'll start your diet again tomorrow.
If you're "committed" to losing weight...
* Nothing stops your efforts. You stick with your diet, "no matter what."
* Emotions don't control your actions. You stay on track even when you don't feel like it.
* Your motivation isn't linked to the scale. You assume that if you stay motivated and work hard, you'll eventually see results.
* You don't depend on other people for your success. You know it's up to you, not them.
* A bad day or a lot of challenges don't affect your efforts. You keep going in spite of it.
Committed is the way it works..., (it all starts and ends in the mind department)
No matter what, if your on a journey which this is, remember its not a destination, I do believe it makes
it easier to stay on program... for just one day, thats all we have anyway...
if its a struggle, take it one meal or one hr at a time...
