Staying Motivated
I was at a bit of a loss for a topic or theme to write about this week.There's nothing especially new or insightful to share - just the usual. A small weight loss from the prior week. The monthly picture. Same old stuff.
I was feeling like I needed some extra motivation. And I found it. When I least expected it and when I needed it most, I discovered a poem titled "Motivation for Weight Loss." Sometimes you just have to look a little harder to see the edge. Here's the poem.
MOTIVATION FOR WEIGHT LOSS
