Getting There!

Not My Words....

I have received some fabulous comments, private e-mails and Facebook messages from people, many complete strangers, who I had NO idea were reading. I truly feel overwhelmed and at a loss for words that so many would truly care about my journey. There are a lot of good people in this world. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have also been blessed with words of wisdom. Sometimes, people can say exactly what I need to hear at just the right time.

From Sarah, I believe -

If you focus on results you you will never change. If you focus on change you will see results.

Well, didn't she sum up my experience to a tee.

I think I began with a good, balanced focus on changing and enjoying the results. I saw some wonderful results, 80 pounds in 8 months but then the balance shifted. I was obsessed with my results and driven to record and share every pound and size change. I began to care more about the outside than the inside and believe me, I know that it's the inside that needs to change.

From Sharon -

"A setback is only a set up for a comeback." It is YOUR time and how sweet this comeback is going to be.

I take that as truth and pure prophecy! I've been set up for a comeback, one that focuses on change and not results, and guess what I'm going to get? Results!

Eating less, moving more,
Dawne
