It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.

Willpower simply is not enough, it will fail.

For me, it took the unconditional acceptance and the caring and gentle words from a stranger. I had come to a point where I no longer believed in myself and through this man's steadfast friendship, wit, humor and thought provoking quotes, he allowed me to see value in myself again.

One can not underestimate the caring, loving support and what it means to another. It is the basis for DailyStrength and it changes lives! My life has been changed forever ... with a weight loss of 137 pounds.

Here are the words that started my journey .. BELIEVE even when it is not rational, and good things WILL happen!

Surrounding yourselves with positive friends, positive words and allowing yourself to care for yourself can bring about the change and success we all desire!

Best wishes .. and feel free to join me in our journey.

Hugs ... Ranae

The best thing that I do for myself is to keep a food diary and e-mail it to a food buddy and she sends me her food diary. Keeps me honest. I too have to watch my portions and make sure I have a lot of variety.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
