“You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.”

-Unknown Author

When I read this quote I just thought to myself how many times in my life have I been drowning because I wasn’t willing to move and fix the problem?  This quote hit me hard.  I have failed at every diet in my life because I could never stick to one.  I was a Dietaholic.  I loved diets too much.  All I would think about all of the time was food.  I would focus so much on what I couldn’t eat instead of what I could that I would get discouraged and quit.  I don’t know if you have ever felt this way, but if you have than know you are not alone.  It’s hard to talk about this because it’s hard to put your own weaknesses out there but than I read this quote from an unknown author that states: “You don't realize how strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment.”  It really inspired me.  I want to win this weight loss battle for once and for all and I can only do that by putting my weaknesses out there.  I don’t want you to just think that this whole process of me losing weight is so easy because it’s not.  Don’t get me wrong I love the food I get to eat with lowcarb but I’m still presented with challenges.  I take it one day at a time and with each day it gets easier and easier to continue eating healthy.  Change in life can be scary, but I love noticing changes in my weight, measurements, and size.  This kind of change is great and it keeps me motivated.  As David Viscott said, “You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.”  The best advice I can give is to focus on getting to your goal weight and before you know it, you will be the person you were always trying to become.
