I don't know what it is about this quote but I absolutely adore it. Maybe because it can be used in many different situations.
I am using it as an everyday reminder that me becoming healthy is not a quick fix. It is something that takes time. I am not planning on being the next bodybuilding champion, I just want to be comfortable in my skin again. I want to be healthy for my little ones. I want to feel more relaxed. I want to sleep better. I want to have more energy so I can play with my kids more. I want to teach them to be comfortable with who they are. I also want to teach them what a little hard work and dedication can do.
It helps me stay grounded when I don't want to eat that chicken breast I have yet to prepare. It also helps me remember that the end result will come and I will feel better.

Oh such a great idea. You have reminded me about a time after the birth of my last child, I resolved to eating healthily and getting regular exercise and lost lots of weight in the process. A happy coincidence, maybe I need this attitude again. Thank you for the reminder xx
ReplyDeleteI think of it as I am changing my lifestyle and way of life not going on a diet. I think that is a much healthier view on it! I am glad that you got something out of this! Thanks for stopping by!
