May 07, 2010...Friday

Do you ever get frustrated? Because you think things are going too slowly on your weight loss journey? Many of us do and we don’t realize that we should be building a Foundation that will lead to success, and that does not happen overnight. We join or begin any weight loss journey with first and foremost in our minds, ''losing weight." But we need to look at other things as well, we need to work at building a strong Foundation, and that is a slow process in which we are constantly building and learning. It is extremely important to create a Foundation that will remain strong even in times of failure or crisis, and from time to time we all have felt like a failure and we all have had our own crisis to deal with. It is when we have used the tools we have been given that we get our Foundation ready, to withstand the setbacks that can be thrown at us.This takes time, its not going to happen overnight, just ask anyone who has been at goal for a month. You may have to remind yourself that failing is only failure if you quit…otherwise it is a learning opportunity. So, don’t worry if your journey seems to be in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation so when the time comes you will be able to withstand the storms of life.

  1. Words of wisdom, Joan. Thanks for reminding me about the foundation. I've been frustrated with the slow going lately but you've helped put things back in perspective.
