past to motivate you to be better. The comfort foods you were once used to are easy to miss, but you deserve the type of fuel that tastes good and will benefit you in the long run.
3. I’m stronger than I know and this journey is going to show me just how strong I am.
You look around the gym and all you see are buff beasts going hard. If you were to walk up to any of these athletes, they would tell you it wasn’t easy at first. They would tell you that there were times when they doubted themselves. They would also tell you that they had to push themselves and fight for what they wanted. They are where they are now because no matter how tough things got or how weak they felt, they found their strength.
4. I celebrate all of my wins, big or small.
You started something that was never meant to be easy. That already makes you a winner. Now keep pushing yourself to collect those wins. There are going to people surrounding you at the gym, on the track, or at the park, who are going to be in amazing shape. Don’t compare. You have no idea what it took to get them to that point, so focus on your journey and allow your shortcomings to help write your testimony.
5. I am capable of anything I set my mind to.
The possibilities are endless. You can have it all and the only thing that could ever hold you back is you!
