I talked to a friend of mine. She had quit Weight Watchers last year because it wasn't working fast enough. She then said that really was just an excuse for not staying on the plan. She said, "If I had just stuck with it, the tiny losses I was accomplishing each week would have added up to what I wanted to lose. Now I'm a little heavier than I was when I quit, and am no farther along. I should have just stuck with it."

That's how I am motivating myself - just sticking with it. It's a big picture kind of thing, and overall I FEEL better, so that will be my main gauge of success. And I do feel better, with a little more energy each week.

Oh that I could tell my younger self all this before I gained all my weight. Sigh. Ah well, Happy and Low Carb Monday All!! Stay healthy!
