"You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
In the beginning we don't think we can lose weight or exercise because it's too hard. It's too much work/too expensive to eat healthy. We believe we can't do it, but we can.
The other day I was hot and lazy and I didn't feel like straining to do a hard workout video.
On one hand - I knew if I didn't exercise that I would feel fat and gross and I would feel like I was letting myself down. Again. I've had too many years of that.
On the other hand - I reminded myself that exercise is what it takes for me to get this weight off and to be healthy so I sucked it up and did a 50 minute video. Afterward I felt great and refreshed and was glad I pushed myself to do it. I felt great inside and out and like I was accomplishing something.
Then I realized something. I am slowly building self confidence. If I did it today I can do it another day and another. No more am I sitting on the couch being lazy when my body is craving movement. No longer am I eating junk when my body is craving whole foods. I am doing this. Success breeds success.
