Take the first step… Motivation Monday...

Ever think that the journey is just too far? Can't see the end… can't see yourself at goal… 

I'm NEVER going to be able to lose THAT much?'

I'll be miserable! I won't enjoy anything… 

There's no point … I'll only fail again…  

I'll never get to goal… I never do… 

I'll wait till… the kids are back in school… holidays are over… there's a full moon...

Anything familiar?! If you had told me I'd lose 6 stone, I'd have said you were MAD! It's never going to happen… 6 stone is a Victoria Beckham! Not in a million years… yet here I am aiming for stone 7… one pound at a time… 

One thing I've learned from all the diets and slimming clubs is that you take it one step at a time… that's why getting a silver seven means so much… non dieters are probably wondering why a tiny little sticker means so much… when I lost my weight watchers card I was devastated! Bank cards can be replaced… new lippy can be bought… even a new handbag is replaceable… but those little stickers were earned and I was very proud of them!!! The poor police man thought I was crying over a piece of silver jewellery … but each one was 7 lbs closer to a healthier happier me…  

If looking at the full destination is just too daunting then take one step.. set yourself a goal... 1 lb this week… 5 lbs this month… a size smaller in 6 months whatever you know you can achieve and its totally doable… baby steps and before you know it you're nearly there!
