I needed to read this again!!!! Thought someone else might too!-Bump

[anniet]

They handed this out at our WW meeting today, but it fit so perfectly here I had to post it!!!

For those who think you can't...
Know that you can.

For those who think it's impossible,
Know that it IS possible.

For those who think doing this is hard...
Know that *not* doing this will be harder.

For those who think it takes too long...
Know that it takes it's own time.

For those who hate to plan...
Know that failing to plan is a plan to fail.

For those who hate to exercise...
know that it's the key to your dreams. Find a way to learn to love it, even if you have to fake it for a while.

For those who think this is a diet...
Know it's a new way of life. Period. End of story.

For those who think they are in this alone...
Know that everyone here stands ready to battle along with you.

For those who think they can speed up the process by over-exercising, fasting, or popping pills...
Know that we've been there, done that and it doesn't work. Save yourself the time aggravation and money.

For those who think a question is too stupid to ask...
Know that any question is okay, even if it's been asked 10,000 times before, someone may always be hearing it for the first time.

For those who think no one likes them because they got no response to their post...
Know that it's not intentional or personal, -just a quirk of timing. Repost it.

For those who think 50,75,100,200 or more pounds is too much for any one person to lose...
Know that it's not. It will happen in small increments over time and many have lost that much and more.

For those who think that "falling off the wagon" means you are a failure...
Know that no one fails, they just stop trying. Try again.

For those who think this road is long and hard...
Know that you are right, but you won't be traveling it alone, and it will be an amazing journey.

For those who think because you may be new here that we may not support you...
Know that we're pulling even harder for you to make sure you hang in there.

And for those who from time to time may question the reasons you are doing all this, Know that you will become an Inspiration for someone else.

Know that if you put forth the effort and try your best every day, you ARE capable of achieving your goal.

Know that you are worth a million times more than the effort you are spending on losing this weight.
