There is one type of acceptance that I have decided I will not allow in my life.
The acceptance of defeat.
One of my favorite movies is “Facing the Giants” and there is this wonderful quote that a father who is wheelchair bound tells his son:
“If you accept defeat, David, then that’s what you’ll get.”
How many times in my weight loss attempts (and other areas of life) have I accepted defeat before it even happened? I set myself up to fail and thus I failed.
Not this time. I refuse to accept defeat in this journey. No matter the amount of time it takes to reach my goals I will press on.
My New Ending 
YAY!!!

Yeah! Failure is not an option. This post reminds me of a quote from my mother, “You cannot take the elevator to success, you must take the stairs.” Have a great week! =)

You have a great attitude; it's so easy to accept that negative and give up that I feel like even just telling yourself to keep going is winning half the battle.
