You have done amazi...You are very hard on yourself! You have done amazingly well - look how far you have come. Don't beat yourself up over the last little bit :) I've messed around for the last year or so and it frustrates me, but beating myself up over it won't change anything.. I just need to give it my best shot.<br /><br />Anyway, you can do this - you are amazing. Just remember that :) xxLinz Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550977897988384626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048317667777771070.post-24965896748921507532011-02-23T00:15:28.627-08:002011-02-23T00:15:28.627-08:00Thank you both so much for this reality check. You...Thank you both so much for this reality check. Your right that I´m far too hard on myself, which makes matters worse. I will try to relax and just give this journey the time it will need. I won´t give up and I will learn to be a bit more proud of myself!!!<br /><br />XXPetrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526244182164317297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048317667777771070.post-49012124289158043602011-02-22T07:12:36.941-08:002011-02-22T07:12:36.941-08:00You call it pitiful, I'd call it determined. H...You call it pitiful, I'd call it determined. How else would you achieve all you wish to if you didn't have that? How else have you already made so much progress? Yes it will take time, as this is a journey not a destination, but you have to cut yourself a bit of slack. You want this. Really want this, and that's half the struggle. Your kids are proud of you for that, promise.The Girl From Back Thenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686813455208322055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048317667777771070.post-57443082625677511162011-02-22T03:00:07.901-08:002011-02-22T03:00:07.901-08:00I think sometimes the problem is trying too hard. ...I think sometimes the problem is trying too hard. It becomes almost like a chore and its so hard that falling of the wagon becomes a more frequent occurrence. Telling yourself your a failure for every slip up really can dent ones confidence and trying over and over again in the same routine is not good either. <br />Taking a step back and relaxing about things is often good just for a sanity check. I know I have tried over and over and it has taken me 2 years to really feel like I can go the extra mile this time. I have my thoughts in the right place and sometimes that's all you need. Putting a timestamps on everything you want to achieve puts added pressure on when you should focus on long term changes not trying to lose those 10lbs in 5 weeks. <br />Your right to want your kids to be inspired and know you have to work for things but its also important to show them that picking yourself up after a setback is just as much a life lesson as any.<br /><br />Have a good week.<br />Vics xVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852878768243159247noreply@blogger.com
