Obstacles

The biggest obstacle in weight loss is...YOU!  This is probably the most difficult lesson to learn but the more I think about it, the more I realize it is true.  Only you decide what food goes in your mouth.  Only you decide when and how to exercise.

Granted, there are outside influences, but you have to figure out how to work around those things.  It is up to you to find the time, or take the better food choices.  If you're at a party or a bab or any event where there is food, you choose what and how much to eat.  Nobody is holding you down and forcing the food past your lips.

Own it!  Take responsibility for your action or inaction.

We often put the obstacles in our way.  We make excuses.  And we're really good at making excuses, aren't we?

But on the flip side, you are also responsible for your successes.  Take credit when you succeed because you did it.  Nobody else did it for you.

And most importantly, don't beat yourself up.  Give yourself credit for the good decisions you made and acknowledge the not so good.
