Get Off that Tush and CHANGE!

I am learning that I am my biggest enemy. I can shortchange myself with my negative words and thoughts. I have almost allowed my past weight loss efforts to strangle my future hopes and dreams of becoming fitter and healthier.

Change!!!
If we're not careful we will become hostages to what was and we don't push to see what could be. We desire success but we don't go after it. We rather sit, complain and do nothing than doing what it takes to get it done.

A wise person once told me to stop focusing on what I don't have and embrace and cherish what I do have. We spend so much of our lives complaining and whining about our lives...yet we do nothing to change the status quo.

"An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding; and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself. "

Robert Louis Stevenson

The above quote is a favorite quote of mine because change isn't something that "just happens" and you can't expect your situation to change unless you find it within yourself to change.

I am learning that you have to grab life by the horns and ride that bull...Why are you crying about why your life is the way it is; yet you're not doing what it takes to make the necessary steps to change it? Yes, we all complain but why sit in misery crying and complaining day in and day out..Come on snap out of it..Get off your pretty or handsome romp..and work this thing. It's called life.

"You can't hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can't catch fish unless you put your line in the water. You can't reach your goals if you don't try. "

Kathy Seligman

Change won't come unless you DO SOMETHING instead of wasting your time complaining...IF you continue to complain and not actively make things better for yourself, then change will not happen. Your life will remain stale. Some of us want results right now that we forget we must take those first initial tenative baby steps. We want all the benefits in life but we don't want to work for it.

I am actively taking charge of my life and pursuing CHANGE for a better and healthier future. I'm not trying to win a contest to see how fast I can do it but I'm learning how to change with every pound and inch I lose. Right now, the change isn't outwardly noticeable but inside.....Wow! No words.

Let me get off now...I have to go to bed to prepare for the wonderful community service project my sorority is participating in tomorrow.

There is NOTHING like giving back...NOTHING!!! Gosh, I love my DST!

(Yeah, that's what 6:00 in the morning looks like for me...LOL Change isn't easy...:-)

Until next time,
