Go confidently in the direction of your dreams."
---
Henry David Thoreau --- 


   It has been 20 weeks today that I took that first step to a healthier me. Wow, who would have thought this journey would be so successful?
 I have lost seventy pounds...SEVENTY POUNDS..it amazes me..it really does.  I think this is the first time in my adult life that I really envision myself thin and at goal.  It will happen.  I know it, I feel it.  It is in my future
 I am confident, and I have a dream that will become a reality. Those that fall short of thier goal or thier dream, perhaps didn't really want it bad enough in the first place.  Sometimes it is oh so hard to make the right choice at the moment because the future seems so distant.. The everyday temptations can overpower one, unless  a  conscious effort is made  to continue in the right direction . Focus on that which you are trying to accomplish, not on the chocolate chip cookie calling your name.  Ignore it or get rid of it....don't give into it...the guilt isn't worth the taste..... My dog has had more treats these last five months than he has had in the past five years we have owned him. 
Do what it ever it takes, keep your focus..know what you really desire...be happy with who and what you are as you journey ......enjoy it...
Wishing you and me the strength to say no......
Annie
