It is hard, but it can be done. A pep talk won't always cut it, either, but I'm not going to lecture either. I'll just tell you what I tell myself..

"Yes, it's hard, but so is being overweight. I don't have the RIGHT to deprive my family of the healthiest person I can be. I'm tired, but I'm MORE tired of looking in the mirror and feeling like crying because of what I see..."

The only way OUT of this feeling is THROUGH it. You'll be so proud when you ride out this feeling and reach your goal!
