The Summit

I was away at a work conference this week and as always it's full of fun, learning and excitement for the coming year.

One of the speakers gave an example which I straight away noted because it is so relevant to a weightloss journey (any journey in fact!).

A famous person (sorry, not good with names) was asked how he managed to climb such a massive mountain. He simply said, "I never looked at the summit because I knew that I would turn away and be overcome by my fear of not being able to go any further or that I would convince myself that I couldn't do it. Instead I looked down at my feet and watched as I put one foot in front of another, something I KNEW I could do".

This was inspiring!

I get so nervous about achieving the 30kgs that I have to lose because it's just so mammoth and I doubt my own capabilities to stick it out to the end. However, what I can do is take a step every day. I can look at each day, each gram as it's own achievement.

*sigh*...Truly inspirational!

Back home and back on the wagon

I'm home from my business trip and it's time to get back on the diet wagon.

To be honest, I'm nervous about the energy that's required to be on a diet. It's always on my mind, with everything I eat, whether it be calorie counting or noting how much water I'm drinking. It's exhausting!

The only thing I am confident about is the fact that I need to go back to healthy eating! Eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as drinking every night...I'm dreading the "weigh-in" tomorrow morning!
