"MOTIVATIONAL MOMENTS" ~ Sunday, February 17, 2008

I would like for each one of us to start this new challenge with really good and positive thoughts about yourself. This is the beginning of a brand new journey for you, one filled with expectations of losing weight, and being all that you can be. It is about weight management, food control, exercising, drinking lots of water, and changing the course of your life forever!! Think of yourself as a flower … You are in the first week of this challenge, just a rose bud, just starting out, but always remember that right now, you are beautiful … Our petals have not sprouted yet, for we will need our phen family to encourage us, to be there for one other, and to help us when we have moments of weakness. But through this whole process, always remember to smile and feel really good about yourself, knowing that you are doing a great thing for your health and overall well-being. Then, as you go through this journey, like a rose, you will begin to change and bloom, and people will start to notice that something is different about you – your body will start to become slimmer, and you will have an air of confidence about yourself. And then, in your season, you will blossom into a magnificant rose!!! But always remember that through your whole journey, from beginning to end, you are -- and will always be -- beautiful!!
