I feel all motivated then I get discouraged and feel like it takes to much to get where I want to be on the scale. I hit a wall and stay within 3 to 5 pounds and feel like I am not making any progress. It sounds easy in my head, but when it comes down to it I just kinda give up. Yesterday Matt and I went to the store to get some milk and eggs, we walked by Krispy Kreme donuts. Do you think I could just keep walking...NO...I had to buy them.
So........I tried to think of what would help me. My wonderful mother came to my mind. She struggled with her weight her whole married life. I remember her going to Tops all the time when I was growing up. Also trying all kinds of fad diets and such.
Anyway, I remember her strength and how she never gave up. She fought a hard fight with diabetes and neuropathy. Her poor feet had sores that would never heal and she finally lost her right leg just under the knee. She still never gave up, she had a positive attitude and worked so hard to get her artificial leg. She finally made it, she was better, had her leg and was walking on it. She was able to get her drivers license renewed and was able to drive. I admire her courage and positive attitude. I love you mom!!!! I will do this for you as I know you would want the best for me and my family. Okay girls we are doing this not only for ourselves and familes, we are doing it for Black Grandma. She is with us and will encourage us, know she is cheering us on.
To my diet buddies: I love you, you can do it, never give up!!!

wow...thats such an encouragement to hear! I cant imagine having the kind of strength that your mother did, her story is really inspiring.
I guess it really does put a new light on giving up.
Yea, my mom was pretty amazing. She always had a positive attitude and said no matter what she was going through someone else was always worse of than her and she had so much to be thankful for. She was always smiling. I miss her and love her.
