10 lbs at a time...

I am going for gold!!!

Stop trying to grow a wish bone where your back bone should be, and start doing something about it instead of just dreaming that one day you will be where you want to be... if you don't do it today then in a year from now you'll still be dreaming of tomorrow... and that's not good enough!!

It is not ok to be fat!

Let's get healthy!

Let's become someone with a healthy body!

Let's love ourself on the outside as much as we love ourself on the inside!

We can do this 1 lb at a time...

Only for a little while... keep it up and you'll be a sexy girl running!!!

***Pull up your big girl britches BITCHES!!!***

Keep a positive attitude! Negativity will only bring you down.

You are the only person that can control what you look like! Nobody else is going to do it for you. Nobody force feeds you, nobody makes you go home instead of go to the gym. YOU are in control! That candy bar, donut, french fries, cake, coke, sweet tea, etc. is only keeping you from what you want. STOP EATING THE SHIT!!!

Facts:

No one is "meant" to be fat.

You are not weak or undeserving. You are being ruled by bad habits.

Habits are stronger than willpower.

Habits are stronger than common sense.

It takes 30 days to make/break a habit.

So what do you do? You FORCE YOURSELF BY GRITTING YOUR TEETH AND SUFFERING for 30 days. The bad news is that some suffering is inevitable. The good news is that it's short term, and it eventually stops!

***Reality***

Hey this sucks but if I keep on doing it, it will suck less.

When you make the same decision long enough, it becomes what you do and who you are.

When you are faced with a craving or wanting a food that is unhealthy, use the following technique: "Oh well, it's not on my plan." and then GET OVER IT!!!

Is it a struggle? Hell yea! Everything in life worth having is a struggle. Where is it written that the good stuff in life comes easy?!?!? Are you going to fail along the way? Yes. That is a foregone conclusion. Every skinny, lean, muscular person falls off the wagon. But what makes them different and special is that afterwards they get back up and start over again.

When you look good, you feel good. The only way to look good is to quit eating crap. Eating crap makes you feel like crap, and look like crap lol. Eating healthy makes you feel healthy.

A year from now you'll wish you started today!!!

"There's this amazing thing about change. The people that want to change do it. The people that don't want to change don't do it." - Dr. Laura Schlesinger

Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.

Nothing will happen until you make it happen!

NOW GO KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!!

Speaking of ass, this is what you're working towards:

And don't forget the abs: She once weighed 200 lbs!!!

Things to remember:

Halloween Party, don't you want to look sexy, feel sexy, be sexy? One sexy costume idea...

Aruba, even though we won't be in that bikini yet don't you want to look better in the bathing suits we have or even have to buy smaller ones?

Going to the lake with friends and family, you might actually want to do water activities!!

Airplane seats, you can't fit in one without Danny sitting next to you and raising the arm rest so that your fat butt can use a little of his seat too! Don't you want to be able to never have to worry if the buckle is going to fit?

Your big fat belly. Get it gone! It's just in the way!

The embarrassement you feel when you are around people.

Stop being the FAT FRIEND!!!!

How good you will feel the next time you see people you haven't seen in a while. At parties, at bars, at the gym, at class reunions, and family get-togethers.

Self Confidence, pride in your accomplishments, the beauty of your body when you get to goal, the energy you will have when you make eating healthy and exercising a daily habit, the self satisfaction of proving people wrong.

And don't forget to love yourself and put yourself first. Nobody is going to take care of you but you!!!

Your Blue Bikini we bought in Gulf Shores in 2007 that we swore we would be in for the following summer. Don't you wnat to strut your stuff in that bikini for everyone to see??

Alpo... make your goal or I'm going to make you swallow it bitch LMAO!!! HA HA HA... my sister said she set her goal for each month and if that day of the month comes and she hasn't reached her monthly goal she was going to make herself eat dog food... so that she would think about it thru out the month and do her best on her diet!!!

Love,

Amy
