Very true! I think that I will print this off and put it in my wallet.

I would like to think that I'm ready, but I find myself struggling every day. I've realized that I am, quite possibly, addicted to fast food. I am trying to go one month without it and see how I feel. I've always gone the day of weigh in, as my "treat" if I lost weight. Not a good idea!

My husband has likened it to smoking. Something very bad for you, and hard to quit. He already quit smoking a couple years ago, now it's my turn to quit my only "vice". *sigh*

(i think i'm ready)

I am ready to admit that I am not perfect, but that I AM CAPABLE of achieving those things that I want to achieve. I am ready to admit and own the idea within myself that I am worthy of taking care of myself and loving myself for all that I am.

This is such a great question!

I know from all of the times I tried and failed and then FINALLY succedded at losing weight, that until you are 100% ready, there is no point.

Now, how to get 100% ready, I still couldn't tell you.

Long time lurker, first time commenter!

I haven’t been “ready” for a long time, but I still tried. Right now I *am* ready; like someone else said I’ve automated a lot of what I do (breakfast, snacks, shopping, scheduled gym time) and I’ve taken “thinking” out of the equation: Just Do It Anyway is my current mantra.

I’m also celebrating my successes (5 weeks going to the gym, 1 month On Plan, doing X when I don’t want to, etc), and that was something that I *wasn’t* ready to do for a long time. I think that may be why I’m successful now!

LOVE this question! It came at the absolute perfect time for me. I’ve blogged about it, too.
