  • Momentum, don't throw it away

    Good morning, I've been thinking alot about all that I wrote over in Adena's journal. Momentum is so hard to finally establish, it takes so much to get the big wheels rolling, but once we do, it takes a lot less to keep them rolling...In the beginning it's alot of work to establish things, food, water, exercise, planning and managing it all, but once we get in the routine, it's not that hard to keep em rolling! That's momentum, and don't underestimate it!

    Sometimes I have been terribly stupid, and let momentum slip through my fingers. I have at times lost momentum, and will power, because I got sloppy, and careless and cocky thinking, "this little bite WON'T hurt me" but it will, because in my life, it leads to another little bite, and before long, as many can attest, we loose our footing, our ground and we gain our weight back, and getting back on track seems literally impossible!...Keeping vigilant over our daily routines, is paramount to our success, and to think we can ever really "sit back" again is ridiculous! I have alot of momentum, and the challenge of my life right now is keeping it every day...but I know if I loose it, I will tumble head over heels into a terrible place...My life has never been so challenged as it is right now, and the one thing going for me is the incredible self will I've established over time...I dont want to loose that edge and the momentum that drives me...But that means I have to absolutely find a way today! to get it all done, and done right! This place of it all working is like a GIFT, and I don't want to carelessly throw it away ever again...So today counts BIG TIME., today I keep my momentum Rolling! It's a gift, this will power, this focus, this ability to stay the course, and I don't want to do anything to disturb it!

          Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts with us, Jess. I can imagine what a wonderful influence you are on the children you work with. Just curious--do you share your weight loss story with them, show them the pictures, maybe make up some nutrition songs? You would be absolutely fabulous. I know when I was young and chunky--I knew sugar was bad for me but I had no idea what else was bad. The stupid food pyramid didn't teach me a thing--maybe you could (or already are) spreading the word about eating healthy foods and whatnot--or at least really limiting your bread and sugar intake?
