Felicity's Weight Loss Journey

Hi my name is Felicity. I am 45, married 10 years November 05 and live in a small town in the middle of the South Island. I have been over weight since I was 11 and always hassled at school.

DON'T YOU QUIT
When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your points a bit,
It's your next move that counts...
So DON'T YOU QUIT!
It's a moment of truth,
it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself,
"You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow.
"It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
if you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when losing their grip,
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink,
just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it... But DON'T YOU QUIT !!!

Hi Felicity!

So great to read your blog and the Don't You Quit poem. Having just got back on the wagon after my honeymoon, it's quite timely.

I've gone back through some of your earlier posts and wow.. you've come a long way. Congratulations on all you've achieved so far and all you WILL achieve with your wonderful attitude.

Trisca.. xo
