During my recent battle with my weight I experienced something that I had only heard of Yo-Yo Dieting I have gained all the weight back. I quickly found out that all my so called friends some of my closes relativeness that seemed to be cheering me on were just waiting for failure. Some were actually glad I didn't succeed because it gave them an excuse why they have not accomplished there own goals I have learned that a battle of this magnitude needs to have little victory's and short term goals the will boost your moral during the journey I have learned to watch who you share your goals with and to make sure you stay around positive people.
Life is short only you have control of it the people that you decide to share your life with choose wisely if you see that you have made an mistake change them don't allow others to predict your future be weary of those that so freely give advice on things that they have yet to accomplish be polite and listen even a broken clock is right twice a day like my Grand Dad used to say eat the lean spit out the fat so I will just start again this time I have new tools in my arsenal one is the right support group the other is I know it can be done

I can totally relate. I discovered during my journey to obtain optimal health that without motivation you are headed straight for failure. I also learned not assume that motivation will come from people closest to you. Some of those very people aided me become overweight. I now know that motivation can come from other sources and I for one will accept positive reinforcement no matter the source that will help me reach my goal of well balanced health.
