I don't eat that...

...but I do believe this.

Totally stolen from a friend, but I don't think she'll mind.

I CAN can control my body, rather than being controlled by my body.

I CAN live a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.

I CAN maintain the changes I've made in the LONG TERM.

I CAN have a healthy body.

I DON'T have to settle for an overweight body.

I CAN do this for as long as I want.

So close...

...yet so far away!

I was on the cusp - the absolute cusp - of being down 50 pounds: 49.  And had a set back of sorts, which put me down.  But not out.

"Don't make any changes you're not willing to live with forever."

That's my motto.  That's my life message.  That's my everything.
