Tiny things you feel you can stick w/ the rest of your life w/o sacrificing or struggling or "dieting" oh NO!!! So for example; I switched most white stuff for wheat, I cut out soda. Those were 2 huge things for me that I have stuck to about 80% this whole first year. Those are little things. But I know I can do that and not feel deprived. I too want to get to goal and "just be" and not weigh, and measure, and freak out 24/7. I want to just be content at goal and working out so I can maintain that. But I do hope and believe that the "maintenance phase" will be different and will be easier and more difficult in different ways. So possible, we won't even know how to deal until we get there and we take it 1 day at a time!Liz - Lizzle - Libby Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035562478549837609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840606548832387602.post-23123469316670664962010-07-01T00:22:14.717-05:002010-07-01T00:22:14.717-05:00All you can do is take it one day at a time.

We all have these fears make no doubt about it, but make sure they don't take over your headspace because in my opinion, the quickest way to fail is to keep obsessing about it. Focus on achievements goals and deal with obstacles as they come.<br /><br />Em :)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521323308311211166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840606548832387602.post-38098752483830215252010-06-30T21:52:38.053-05:002010-06-30T21:52:38.053-05:00these are huge and important questions, I've p...these are huge and important questions, I've pondered them myself. I used this quote in my SOB story, and think it fits here.<br /><br /><br />..."...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."<br /><br />Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903<br />in Letters to a Young PoetAngie Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888723884815885764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840606548832387602.post-69933585431383901822010-06-30T20:31:32.951-05:002010-06-30T20:31:32.951-05:00I ask myself some of the same questions.

Through this banded blog community there's lots of evidence to support the fact that our goals can be met and we can deal with the issues whatever they may be when we're ready. You're doing well and I have no doubt that you'll reach yor goal.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821331052056806581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840606548832387602.post-22514204314820288532010-06-30T20:03:33.682-05:002010-06-30T20:03:33.682-05:00My sweets - take a deep breath - and realize these...My sweets - take a deep breath - and realize these questions and these emotions...are good and quite possibly are things you've never even let yourself ponder before because you never believed any of this would happen before. Feel the emotions, fight the fears, believe in yourself...cuz hun...every one of us out here does. <br /><br />Keep on keeping on...and be well, my friend.
