Must....have....MOTIVATION

The holidays are getting closer every day. I finally succumbed to listening to my first Christmas CD this morning. Despite the department store's most noble attempt to get this shopper in the "holiday spirit" while shopping for Halloween costumes, I just haven't been ready to accept that the holidays are just around the corner until this morning. I've officially been hit with the holiday bug, and am ashamed to admit that, for me anyway, that means that I usually toss my health kick out the window until January 2nd...because there are still so many good leftovers until then.

Please tell me I'm not alone!!??

This time of year, now more than any other, I personally need a constant reminder...a little nagging voice...a fresh new motivator, to help remind me that any damage I allow myself to do in the 6 weeks to follow, although lots of fun, will ultimately take me at least twice as long to un-do. Every cookie, swig of eggnog, bite of fudge and lick of holiday baked goods stands a personal sabotage to all that I've accomplished this year. In hindsight, it may be the reason that I continue to GAIN weight every year...I work 11 months to get it off, and spend the last 1 month packing it back on..and then some!

Not this year my friends....not this year!

Together we can band together and remind each other that SOME enjoyment is good, however letting loose is not. We can motivate each other to keep our ultimate goal in sight...motivate each other keep pushing to succeed, remind each other that for us, FAILURE is NOT an option.

Say it with me...

I am in control

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels

Anything can be accomplished with good family & friends by my side as support

I can say NO to that (insert favorite holiday treat) when he's calling my name.

I am stronger than my craving, because I AM IN CONTROL

Start saying these out loud as you look in the mirror. Believe them, feel them, LIVE them.

We can face these trying times...and we will be successful in maintaining control. I'm here for you!

Until Tomorrow!

Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!

Have an awesome day!
