The following is a paragraph from an excerpt from chapter 5 of Dave Draper's book Your Body Revival. I know I've read some posts on this board about people feeling indifferent or down because they stumble. I thought this quote hit the nail on the head. Dave has a website at http://www.davedraper.com
"It’s not uncommon in the world of the overweight for the dwellers to think unkindly of themselves, casting a reproving eye on their movements and the space they occupy. Get over it. This is your lot, the boundaries of your life, and here you will remain unless you befriend yourself, pardon yourself of past stumblings and refrain from inflicting further undeserved punishment. Twisted self-affliction damages the goods further, like taking a hammer to the toes of the feet that lost the race. The race is never lost as long as you continue to take another step forward."

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body, but rather to skid-in-sideways,
totally worn out, shouting... "holy **** what a ride!"

Great Post Don...
I was just lamenting to my friend last night that I have only lost about
10-15 pounds since May...I have not been as vigilant as I had been in the 4 months before that. So... thanks for the post...I needed to hear it. :)
