You know that overwhelmed feeling you have when you start something new, when you aren't sure if you are doing it the right way?? That is what I have felt every time I have started a new diet. There is so much to remember! There is a long list of things I shouldn't eat, new exercises I haven't done before, equipment I don't have, food to weigh and measure. I usually get to the point of losing hope that I will be successful. I have gotten so tired of that feeling that I just stopped trying to lose weight. I couldn't take another diet failure to damage my self-esteem, that is what little I have left because of my weight!! With all that said, I was SHOCKED that I decided to sign up for the Heart Challenge. Private failure is one thing, failure for all of Utah County to see is a whole different story!! For whatever reason, I took the leap and applied and I am SO GLAD I DID!!!
For the first time in my life, I don't feel hopeless about losing weight!! I feel excited about the things I'm learning! It feels great being surrounded by people who want to help me be successful!! I love having someone to show me what exercises to do and what I'm doing wrong. I love the sense of accomplishment I get every time I eat healthy and exercise!! Most importantly, I am feeling good about myself!!
Thank you to all of you who are helping me change my life!!!
I loved your comments. This is truly a great program and it really helps me to find someone who is as thrilled with this program as I am. Frankly, I cannot believe how lucky I was to get chosen. Good luck to you. You have the spirit and will do great things with this challenge. Mary Kirkham
