Last night, I was watching one of my favorite shows: My 600-lb Life. This is a graphic show and mostly depressing. What I love about it though are the stories. Stories of succeeding over a tremendous struggle. I mean, I am fighting to loose 20 lbs and it is hard work. It requires being consistent, one of my greatest challenges. Nikki, 33 yrs old and 650 ish lbs, was featured last night as a fan favorite. In her past she had kept a container by her bed of high calorie delicacies. After loosing 60 of the 500 pds, she said this, "I have emptied my container because its contents were disrespectful to my new life style."

That made so much sense to me. When I am trying on new habits, I need to respect all of my hard work. I need to respect my soul's desire to be fit. Slipping backwards is washing away the progress I have worked so hard accomplish.

The value of Nikki's words are gold to me. I respect our struggle to change, morph, transform into the life we deserve for ourselves. Here's to you, Nikki!

  1. What a great quote for trying to reinvent yourself, to change to a better you. Good luck with your journey. Happy Day One!

  2. You are really speaking to me today. Last night, either out of boredom or to punish myself (for unconscious reasons), I just kept snacking beyond hunger. Hopefully this month of writing will help to find useful and fulfilling busy-ness that is much needed during these cold, winter months.
