"There's a difference between interest and commitment.
When you're interested in doing something,
you do it only when it's convenient.
When you're committed to something,
you accept no excuses;
only results.”
~Kenneth Blanchard.​

not to lose your sense of balance, humility and commitment."

It's nice to know Mandieleeann, that other people actually get some benefit from this thread. I usually search for something to match someone else's experiences or feelings but often for mine. Thank you for your encouraging words, xo Cate

"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."
~Albert Camus

"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow,
it only saps today of its joy."
~Leo Buscaglia

"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute
with love, grace and gratitude."
~Denis Waitley.​
 
Acting as if you have a skill or a feeling eventually contributes to it coming true.
You don't have to wait until "someday" to have self-esteem. You can build your confidence and self-image by acting as if you already feel good about yourself (even if you don't). When you get dressed each day, look in the mirror and say, "I look great!" Then walk and talk as if you do. Remind yourself all day. Before long you will believe it.
 
Got this quote from Isabel Allende's son-in-law (in how he sees life) from her latest memoir:

1. It's not personal.
2. People are responsible for their own feelings
3. Life is unfair.

I go back to this whenever I find myself veering to the self-pity mode!
 
Affirmations for weight-loss

The more positive messages you send to yourself: the more you'll want to do what's needed to slim down. Your affirmations are to be in the present tense to give them a greater sense of power and immediacy. Don't use the future tense, because it creates an inner mind program which says that you are not ready now. The present tense, in contrast, affirms your readiness and willingness to reach your goal now. Keep the affirmation positive with the emphasis on you at your goal now.

"My body is getting stronger, slimmer, and healthier every day."
 
Permanent weight loss begins with the acknowledgment that you want more out of life.
You must decide that you are deserving of more happiness, more joy and more peace.
You want to return to the aliveness that you were born with.​
 
Are your excuses holding you back from losing weight?
Start to recognise the fear behind your excuses.
Your excuses are your way of protecting yourself from life.
Food and weight will never protect you from the pain of life.​
 
Change requires the belief that change is possible for you.
You are far more powerful than you believe yourself to be.
You would not have made it this far if you were not capable of change.​
