Hey guys, I thought that since every group has a specific mantra, I thought I would invent my own. What's yours??
Proud
Enjoy the strength you feel each time you say NO to a sugary or cheezy treat.
Feel empowered everytime you finish a tough workout where you really pushed yourself to the wall.
Triumph everytime you show somebody else it could be done, even when they said it couldnt.
Love your board of friends; we will love you and support you even if the Krispy Kreme craving was too strong for one day, or even two.
Accept that your dreams (can/and will) come true if you just believe in yourself.
Expect that your body will change everyday, so be prepared to be shocked at your new relection in the mirror. Will you recognize the new you?
Appreciate the small victories you achieve...Crossing your legs, wrapping a towel all the way around yourself, not being out of breath, trying a new food.
Know that others are counting on you for inspiration, feedback, and support. You never know whose lives you could change just by making one decision.
Always remember that you come first. Dont compromise your good choices to please somebody else's idea of what should be done.
Never forget how much courage it took to make the changes you have made so far.
Embrace your mirror, it isnt the enemy we have always believed it was. Yes, it shows how far we have to travel; but more importantly, how far we have already come.
Always remember to be a strong, powerful, beautiful (inside and out), loving, kind, and positive role model to all you touch,
Be
PROUD
Much love,
~Carrie
