Since I've deemed 2011 The Year of Getting it Done, I thought you'd want to hear from someone who has gotten it done.
My pal, Lynn Haraldson, resolved six years ago to lose weight, and she did, getting rid of 170 pounds the old-fashioned way -- diet and exercise.
Yesterday, on New Year's Day, she wrote a post titled What is Your Destiny? In it, she wrote:
When I started this journey, belief was the only thing I had going. I believed I could do it. I believed I was worth it. That belief became my thoughts, which I journaled into words and spoke aloud. I told my family and my doctor, “I’m going to lose weight!”
Please read the rest of her post at Lynn's Weigh. It's a potent dose of inspiration from someone who Got it Done and keeps it off. I don't want to steal her thunder (or her pageviews) but I'll quote her one more time:
Losing weight takes courage, yes, but changing your life to make weight loss permanent? Yeah…that takes a lot more than courage. It takes love. And I am, finally, in love…with all of me.
