We have a thunderboomer overhead and my power went out while I was typing a reply to you and I lost it. Thank you SO very much for your kind words of encouragement. It helps to know that others who've had to fight the same battle have fought it and won. I've been playing with the same 10 pounds since the beginning of October. I'm not on a plateau... I know full well why I'm where I am. It all boils down to 'CHOICES' and 'ATTITUDE'. I just need to find in myself that place where I was when I was motivated to change. I'm inspired by so many of you on the list, with that inspiration, I need to find the motivation to make the lifestyle changes necessary to accomplish what I set out to do almost 3 years ago when I joined TOPS. I really believe what one of the guest speakers said at SRD '04 in Waco... nobody can motivate us to lose weight... only we can motivate ourselves. We just need to reach within ourselves and find that motivation. And I'm workin' on it!hugs,janet:-) EMAIL SUPPORT TEXAS-STYLE!!THE CRAZIEST BUNCH OF "LOSERS" ON THE 'NET'!!Visit us on the web: http://www.texastops.org __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
