Happy birthday Nath!! We’ve missed you so much around here! I hope that you will stick around for good Also, just keep up with what the positive things that you recently started (blogging, exercising, food watching) and it will become a habit again and it will positively influence your life again. Also, try a bit of positive self talk at least once a day. Surely there is SOMETHING you don’t hate and are happy with. We are our worst critic but we can also see the best in ourselves as well. Don’t sell yourself short. But anyhow, keep up the good work…it’s so nice to have you back! and Happy Birthday!!! I hope you are doing something fabulous to celebrate!!

I remember a meeting months ago where our leader was talking about how much support is offered at the meetings and how great people usually feel but that it’s when people need the most support that they don’t want to go to the meetings. We’re all eager to go WI when we know we’ve lost but we are ashamed to go WI when we think we’ve gained and yet that is the time that support is needed the most. If you think you’ve gained then own up to it, WI and move on. You know how to lose weight and you know how to gain (ignoring) so take charge and show the scale and everyone else who’s boss. YOU! You are doing this for you, no one else, prove to yourself that you can and will do this! Now go to the gym and if people stare then stare right back, let them know what it feels like.
You can do this!
