We have to be grateful for each day as it comes. I hate when I start taking things for granted. It's hard not to become complacent! It’s so true! We have to be grateful for each day as it comes.

Its a way to give yourself a slap in the face with reality but reminding yourself of the journey and how far you've come. About why you were doing it in the first place. Where you want to go now. How have things changed for the good or bad since you started? I just recently went through an entire week of this...unfortunately :) I just posted last night on being at the starting line again with a new found motivation. Sometimes we just need the reminder. Its an amazing way to keep us on track! I believe sometimes that reflection helps to keep yourself in check.

I am not sure if it is a combo with cold weather and no light in the evenings or what. I am wanting to turn back to old habits. And on top of it, hubby brought home a cherry pie one of the ladies at work gave him. He is good with no sweets or just a taste.....me, I want to eat the whole thing until it is gone....it is like a constant calling from the counter. :( But I will win over it! I have been thinking of how much exercise it would take to burn the whole thing off of my body! I have been quite the same lately.

Watching them look at each other and fuss over each other like they were 17!!! It was awsome. Watching them live life as if they had it to start all over again. It was a cool moment that got me thinking about my own marriage and perspective on life. Just funny that this was your quote of the day.

That's a long time! I'm still struggling with my own weight issues - I've got about 20ish pounds that I need to kick to the curb. I haven't found that deep inner motivation yet, and I find myself eating just to fill a void, I guess. I guess it's such an ingrained habit for me...but I'm still working on it. I love your site. I, personally, really enjoy the "deep" posts! -Elaine Roni –

I'm definitely struggling with this mentality too ... I've gained a couple and it's really bothering me. I've kept off most of the weight I lost 4.5 years ago, but these few pounds bleat out "FAILURE" which is then chastised by my rational self that says, "You're still you, living each day; you're a 6 or an 8 and you can wear almost anything you wish now. You're fit and healthy!" It's a constant struggle, but hearing a quote like this DOES put it all into perspective. Especially since we want to start a family in a year or two, and I don't want to miss anything because I was so obsessed with my body. Reading Courtney Martin's book, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters, after meeting MamaV at the Chicago meet-and-gree also helped me see the light. I'm more than a number or a size. And life's meant to be lived. The delicate balance is in not giving up my exercise or diligent eating ... just trying to enjoy a little more. I really like that quote a lot.
