thinspiration thursday

With my weight watchers going pretty smoothly, I am doing my best to keep it that way. It is a constant struggle for me and I am trying to remind myself that it is a LIFESTYLE, not a DIET. I'm trying to condition myself to make healthier choices, not starve myself in the process. I am focusing on planning accordingly for times I know there will be possible temptations and slip-ups, and understanding that it is all a part of being human. Live a little! So far, I am enjoying the challenges of planning, choosing, and then finally enjoying what I eat, without regretting it immediately after. In an effort to keep my enthusiasm up, I am going to begin Thinspiration Thursdays, where I will share sources for motivation and encouragement for that particular week. This week, I have had this quote laying heavy on my mind, and it has helped me to remember to be strong, proud, and determined: (via MyFitnessPal)

I am not naturally skinny; never have been, never will be. But I know that if I work hard and put in the effort, I can become someone that I am happy to see in the mirror every morning.
