It May Feel Impossible – But Quitting Is Not An Option!

Whether we are morbidly obese and have more than a hundred pounds to lose or whether we have a stubborn 15-20 pounds keeping us from our ideal weight, we can experience feelings of frustration and hopelessness. From a morbidly obese perspective, the sheer number of pounds ahead of us can seem so overwhelming that we are discouraged before we even start. From the perspective of someone trying to lose those last stubborn pounds, we can become quite disenchanted when they hold on, as if cemented to us, and our efforts don’t seem to produce our desired results.
I have now been at both ends of the spectrum and have first hand knowledge of these feelings. What I can very happily share with you is that it is possible to overcome these feelings and to shed the unwanted pounds. It takes dedication, perseverance, support, encouragement, motivation, self-talk, friendships and a “can do” attitude that adopts the philosophy that “quitting is not an option!”
This is a great article. Thank you for sharing!
