Great timing – her book is on the way to my house as we speak! Rebecca, I really LOVE what you husband had to say about the process – and REALLY needed to hear that today – thanks!

Thank you Roni for bringing Dietgirl to your site. I read her book about a year ago and just loved it. She is motivating and she has a great sense of humor which made her book not only motivational, but fun to read! It didn’t feel like a diet book. I also love your site and have found you to be highly motivational as well. What a great combination:)

Rebecca- What a smart husband you have. I have never articulated it that way but it is so true. I have been maintaining for 3 years and never thought about it like that. When I was losing I did love the process. Some weeks more than others but I really got into the entire thing. It finally came down to being healthy not skinny.

This is in response to Hollie’s question. One night after a cry and whine about being fat and describing how I wanted to look and feel my husband said something very profound to me. He said: “Baby, if you want to change, you can’t just be in love with the end result, you have to fall in love with the process too”

With just that one sentence, I totally got it. I had been so focused on how I would look, feel, wear, do etc…when I reached goal that I never gave myself time to think about what it would take to get there. I mean REALLY think about it.

Now I try to, not only visualize myself at goal, but day dream about having a great day on plan, a great work out, a delicious healthy meal, a fun hike etc…You really have to fall in love with the process.

Any success story I have ever seen, including Roni and DietGirl, it is obvious to me that the person has fallen in love with the process, not just the end result. I know Roni and DietGirl did because they made it their work, they loved the process so much that they want to help other people love it too. I try to keep that in mind now and it has given me so much more perspective.
