FINDING INSPIRATION IN OTHERS' SUCCESSES

Okay, so my second weigh-in of the year didn't go so well, but it's not like it was a total shock or anything... I had NOT been behaving myself at all and was just hoping for the best... which needless to say I have NEVER been any good at!  I was up 2.6 lb.  But it is a new day, a new week, and hopefully a new attitude!  As everyone who has ever tried repeatedly to succeed at something, it's NOT about how many times you fall, it's about how many times you get back up again!

One of the things I read to stay motivated suggested that, just like when we want to know more about a disease we or a family member or friend are diagnosed with and we go on line and research the heck out of it, I need to do that for inspirational weight loss stories, especially the type that don't happen overnight.  Here is a perfect example I stumbled across this morning.  This young mom has lost over 300 lb on Weight Watchers and her story is definitely one for the books.  I LOVE this blog because she has chronicled her weight loss journey in words AND in pictures.  I hope and pray that one day in the not-too-distant future someone is actually reading the story of MY (successful) weight loss journey and finding inspiration!  Meanwhile if you want to be TRULY inspired, check out THIS blog:
