It was a win-win situation!!
This contest has definitely been eye opening to me on many levels in my life. Not only in a superficial and physical degree, but intrinsically unexpected!
I challenge all of you to deprive yourself of something you really don't need. Whether it be emotional, physical, whatever...prove to yourself that you can have control!
I think when we become careless with our lives, even when it doesn't seem that critical, it does us no good. We often feel remorse for our decisions, or guilt. Confront yourself and test yourself to see if you can face a temptation you have!! We have the control.
We can do it.
You can do it!!
It's all in our attitude. We have the power within ourselves. God created powerful bodies and minds within them to exert control. Once we conquer that, we have power beyond belief!! It's astounding to watch yourself transform! It's worth it. Either you want it or you don't, you'll do it or you won't!
Make the change today, however little or big it might be...you'll never grow until you push yourself out of your comfort zone. What we want most in life is worth fighting for! It doesn't always come easy. None of us are perfect. We each have hidden crevices within us that hide imperfections. We try to ignore them, but if we're honest, we have to admit they're there. Surrender! Clean out those nooks and crannies of doubt or worries. Have the faith and trust that you can succeed!

Okay, so my contest ends today, as well. And I think, fingers crossed, I won. And lost 23 pounds. I really hope that it's helped me form habits like: I can go on a date with my husband, order food to stay in my calories, and STILL have fun. What a concept.
I still have 23 to go. Anyone up for round 2?
Jill, you are awesome! That cake looks divine. Winner, winner, winner!
Jessica, we are doing two different forms of a maintenance contest. One is a support group and one is more contest-y. They're posted on my blog if you're interested in joining us.
You so inspire me you are amazing. congrats on winning! and the cake looks so so good!
Awesome, great job Jill. This is a good reminder for us all to be more aware of how we treat our bodies. And good to know that happiness without chocolate is possible!
Good job on losing the 5 lbs--but you totally didn't need to. I bet the way you feel is totally worth it though--yay!
