This is a snippet of a conversation with a friend I just had, in which I made a tiny realization (which is really a huge one, in the grand scheme)
Friend : How was your day yesterday? (referring to my diet)
Me : same as everyday, perfect :-)
Friend : You're awesome.
Me : haha someday, it'll pay off!
Friend : Gotta keep at it.
Me : i don't plan on stopping. I've never felt so... set. Like, I can't possibly fail this time. no matter how long it takes!
Friend : That's awesome. And must be relieving.
Me : I s'pose it is Like, even though I am working my bum off, I feel sure that it's going to work. Before I was just kind of, hoping.
So there you have it.
I am so committed to my new lifestyle and driven to my goals. Every time I dieted I said the same thing - "this is it!" this was the TIME. And I always relapsed and never met any of my goals. But I never TRULY resigned myself to a "way of life"
It was always a "diet", a short term thing to get me skinny.
That's not what it's about anymore. It's LIFE now. It's not giving up on this until I die. And I will be one sexy ghost! ;-)

You don't need to hope it lasts, you already know it is. :)
