I like that:):) What a difference it makes to have that kind of attitude!  Not only in our lives personally but for those around us too.  It’s a little contagious I think;) Nobody likes a grumbler or negative person cuz it just brings ya down and stresses you out.  When I get that kind of attitude I like to start listing off all the things in my…[Read more]

Looking for the positive in everything is like a challenge, I play it like a game. When something crappy is happening I challenge myself to find the silver lining. I always do!

Although sometimes it takes longer than other times lol 

And like he says we will finish this even if we have to crawl over the finish line!!

I’m anxious to cross it too Susan!

Yes! That’s my attitude for sure.

Not: I can only have 5 bites twice a day.

Instead: I get to have 2 candy bars every day!  and lose weight!! 

Thanks for the info!!  

That’s funny, Amy!  

<p style=”text-align: left;”>What a great attitude to have:)  So often I think of all the things I have to do as chores that I can’t wait to get done.  Instead of being thankful for the blessings associated with “getting” to do those things!  I could dread doing laundry and cleaninf the house and mowing the lawn etc …or I can be thankful that I…[Read more]

Thank you!!

Another great thing about going on vacation, at least for me, is all the stuff I have to do to prepare keeps me extra busy.

I take care of my mom full time and I have to get her and her house ready for other caregivers to come in and take care of her (grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, writing notes, her dog to kennel, making sure…[Read more]

“Food is good. But, it will always be good. You are not missing out on anything by not having it today.” – Dr. Lewis

Hi lm12!

Thats a great analogy that Dr. Lewis uses and it’s quite fitting. I have to know what it feels like to cross the finish line!!

The suspense is killing me!! 

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Susan that quote really hit me – you don’t run 25 miles of the marathon and quit. The last mile may be the hardest but it will be amazing at the end!!</p>

Just now saw your response.  That sounds like a wonderful vacation!  Yes, how much more meaningful to get to spend time connecting with those we love and cherish rather than having your focus on food.  I hope you have a wonderful time and enjoy being outdoors:)  I’m in Ky so basically been indoors for the last 4 mo. as well.

Love it!! Thanks for sharing this.
I’ve been thinking along those terms,  too.

In 2014,  my goal was 140. After talking with Dr.L we lowered my goal to 120.

I hit 138 and stopped losing. I just quit. 

I ran 25 miles of a 26 mile marathon.

Time to finish!! 

Thank you guys!

Yay for small victories!!!  

Great job, Rebekah!!
