The Word for the Week is, DETERMINATION!It is defined as the act of deciding definitely and firmly; fixed intention to achieve a desired end; a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult; simply not giving up.In order to see success in our weight loss journey, we have to be DETERMINED to do it. We must determine in our minds that we are going to do this, we must determine that we will make the necessary adjustments and stop giving o...urselves excuses and "outs". We must determine that we are going to eat like we need to, exercise when/how we need to and do what we need to in order to reach our goals. We have to develop a new mindset that goes beyond the comfy place we've grown accustomed to. Our flesh doesn't want to adjust, it doesn't like change, especially where it now has to develop some form of discipline. However, change is necessary if we are going to ever see success...and we must be DETERMINED to change!We cannot give up....we must keep a mental image of ourselves, even visual if necessary, that will keep us pushing toward that goal. You know, I realize that I am one week of cupcakes, pizza, burgers, sodas, chips and candy bars away from going back down the path of who I used to be....and I am DETERMINED that I will not go back. I do not want to be who I was because I was undisciplined and I didn't like that because the fruit of the (holy) spirit is temperance...Self-discipline. The fact that He is living in me should be evidenced by the Fruit of self-discipline. I REFUSE to be led by my flesh any longer! I am DETERMINED to make the changes I need to make...no matter what my flesh has to say about it so that I DO NOT go back, but so that I DO reach my goal of a size 10!How about you? Are you ready to reach your goals? If you are ready to, I challenge you to make up your mind to do what you need to do to get there...and be DETERMINED that THIS time is THE time that you reach your weight loss goals!!! You've got this!!!Love ya!Rae
