"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough." Og Mandino
Good Morning Sister W.W.F.F.,
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Fall is here, no doubt about that, and alone with Fall comes the desire for all that comfort food. Trust me, I am so there. That is fine, due to I know of at least two Weight Watcher recipes that are wonderful Fall comfort foods. One is the chicken pot pie, using the canned biscuits, which when I make that again, I will use the low fat crescent rolls. The other is the White Chicken Chili. The chili is out of this world and freezes wonderfully, and packed with fiber. So there are a couple of things that can fall into line when you need comfort food. By the way, if any of you need either or both of those recipes, let me know.
How determined are we? I have to admit, there are times I do feel as if my determination is seeping out. It can be for different reason, things that I DO NOT have control over. We do the best we can and that is really all we can do. We try to hold one another up, but here again, there is only so much of that we can succeed at. We can hold one another up, and be supportive, but we cannot do the program, exercise or tracking for each other. That responsibility falls to no one but ourselves.
Sometime back our Sister Weight Watcher pal Julie Hood sent me a poem, and I just thought it was great. I want to add it today, due to I get the feeling we are in a critical time here. Some of us seem to be hanging on completely by the tips of our fingers. So hope you enjoy the poem.
Wishing Everyone a great Day,
Much Love,
Joan
Don't Quit - W.W. Version
When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down
And you feel like the biggest failure in town;
When you want to give up just because you gave in
And forget all about being healthy and thin;
So What! You went over your points a bit;
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, It's an attitude change;
It's learning the skills to get back in your range;
It's telling yourself "You've done great up till now;
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal;
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace
If you summon the will to get back in the race;
But, often the struggler's when losing their grip
Just throw in the towel and continues to slip
And learn too late when the damage is done
That the race wasn't over and they still could of won.
Life-style change can be awkward and slow
But facing each challenge will help you to grow;
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint in the cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit;
If you bite it you write it... But Don't you quit!
