Mother's Day...May12,2002


Wow, I can't believe that I haven't written in my journal for six days...life has been so hectic, with work, graduation, fundraising for the trip to world finals... leaving on May 20th.. I am driving the props with two friends... a twenty hour drive. The team and some parents are flying...So.... I hope to do better with the journal, but can't promise anything until after Global Finals... The weight I gained over graduation is coming off now only up 2 pounds........I can't wait to hit 100 pounds.. I feel like I am torturing myself ..lol Happy Mother's Day!! and now for today's Journal:

Keep on Believing! *Keep believing you have* *what it takes* *to make your dream* *into a reality* *Keep thinking positive thoughts,* *and know that you have the ability to do anything.* *Find the encouragement inside yourself* *to know that you are worthwhile* *and distinct---* *someone who deserves the very best there is.* *Keep on trying.* *Accept those things you must,* *change the things that are the worst,* *and learn to find security and peace* *within your heart, your strength,* *and your self-assurance.* *Keep on being the person that you are---* *the one who gives those around you* *such a feeling of reassurance and hope.* *keep on believing, because you deserve* *the joy, peace, faith, hope, and love* *that you're seeking.* *You deserve every fullfillment* *and satisfaction in everything you try.* *--Regina Hill*

We must believe in who and what we are and believe that we can make this dream of losing weight a reality. To make dreams come true we must take action. Every day brings new challenges to us, face them head on.. know where you are going and keep focused. Sometimes it is not easy being on an eating plan. Remember a planned hiatus is so much better to one's peace of mind than a spur of the moment, "I am gonna eat this."

The past few weeks have been difficult for me as so many important happenings are occuring. As I had stated before, I took a hiatus from the eating plan last week, when I celebrating my son's graduation. I also went right back on the eating program when I got home... That is the key.... make your choices, plan your choices and then live by your decisions... have no regrets and and return to the eating plan..don't get swallowed up in the freedom.

This weekend has been more difficult than usual with a graduation party yesterday for a friend and Mother's Day today. But I made the decision that I would remain on the eating plan....no acceptions this weekend and that is what I have done.

I keeps thinking..

my dream will be a reality

and

Nothing tastes as good as losing weight feels.

May you all have a wonderful day and may you live by your choices!
