L.O.V.E.

I know I said that I'd get to the nutrition stuff, but I wanted to write this post to reiterate some key concepts on the journey to weight-loss. Self-love is the most important thing you can have in this life. You really have to love yourself and have a positive attitude if you're going to tackle your issues head-on. If you're screwed up emotionally and mentally, the physical won't mean a damn thing. Like Lauryn Hill once sang "How you gonna win if you ain't right within"? Those lyrics randomly popped into my head last night when I was talking to good friends about this same topic (Gabby and Melissa). Real beauty and confidence truly does come from within. So before any of the healthy eating or exercising, take some time out to appreciate the person you are on an emotional level. It makes the process just a bit easier.
