Hi all I have this poem stuck on my fridge and thought I'd share it with you all to keep in case you ever need it.
[FONT="]When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, [/FONT]
[FONT="]And you feel like the biggest failure in town. [/FONT]
[FONT="]When you want to give up just because you gave in, [/FONT]
[FONT="]and forget all about being healthy and thin. [/FONT]
[FONT="]So What! You went over your points a bit, [/FONT]
[FONT="]It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit! [/FONT]
[FONT="]It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change. [/FONT]
[FONT="]It's learning the skills to get back in your range. [/FONT]
[FONT="]It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow." [/FONT]
[FONT="]It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You're still gonna make it, just stay in control. [/FONT]
[FONT="]To stumble and fall is not a disgrace, [/FONT]
[FONT="]if you summon the will to get back in the race. [/FONT]
[FONT="]But, often the struggler's, when losing their grip, [/FONT]
[FONT="]Just throw in the towel and continue to slip. [/FONT]
[FONT="]And learn too late when the damage is done, [/FONT]
[FONT="]that the race wasn't over...they still could have won. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow, [/FONT]
[FONT="]but facing each challenge will help you grow. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Success is failure turned inside out, [/FONT]
[FONT="]the silver tint in a cloud of doubt. [/FONT]
[FONT="]When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit, [/FONT]
[FONT="]If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit![/FONT]
[FONT="]When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, [/FONT]
