It is in things like this that our enemy rears his ugly head and causes us to give up, then making a wayfor us to be critical of ourselves. I'm almost twice your age and my joints hurt from carrying extra weight on my bones for most of my life. However, I think I may finally be at a point where I will intentionally try to lose weight. The achy joints, high blood glucose level and high blood pressure all are weighing on my conscience this year. However, fat or thin, young or old, I am still me and I have no reason to be critical of myself...just like you! You are strong and see things through. You are not perfect and the only one who reminds you of that doesn't deserve your attention except during times of prayer. Lynse, don’t believe the lie!

It's not fun. That's why it's called a work out. It's far easier to lament about never getting things done than it is to be proactive and do them. You don't have to be a marathon runner. You just have to start somewhere. If all you manage is ten minutes before you quit, that's progress. Next time, go one block farther. It seems easy, but If it required no effort everyone would be thin and healthy. It's work. It's a concious decision to eat better and move more. Admitting you're a quitter is a moot point. We're all quitters. Some people quit and stay there; they're comfortable in their unhappiness because as much as it sucks, it's familiar. But a body in motion tends to stay in motion. The opposite is also true. As long as you continue to buy in to your old mentality, the physical work you put into it will mean nothing. Everyone struggles with the motivation thing. It’s not fun.

A quitter wouldn't have gone through as much as you already have gone through. Maintaining a healthy weight is a slow process of a lifetime. These brief moments where you didn't make your immediate goal (run a little further) doesn't mean that the long term goal (a healthy life) still isn't there. And by the way, by your photo here on this blog, I really wouldn't have guessed that you have any weight to lose. Best of luck to you! You're very strong. You are not a quitter.
