Nothing gets a guy closer to what he wants than sticking to the effort required no matter how hard it gets. My row hasn't been entirely easy (I still maintain it's been entirely simple) but over time is been incredibly effective. The results I've experienced are the directb result of my having stuck to the effort-- even when appetite and distraction begged/demanded I do otherwise.
Way back when during my march towards better health, I quoted a quote made by Chief Dan George's character from the movie, "The Outlaw Josie Wales," that being, "Endeavor to perservere." At the time I originally heard him say it I thought it an insult, patronizing non-speak meant to placate a downtrodden people. While that may be the case, I can't help but admire and adopt the statement for myself.
The thing is, I created a fairly hopeless situation for myself over the years. I had blossomed- scratch that, ballooned into a creature of extraordinary dimension and upon realizing my predicament, saw little hope of a quick fix. Looking back, endeavoring to perservere is what has help me so far...
And is what I'm counting on to carry me through the completion of my goals and throughout the rest of my life.

Perseverence is queen because it's the king who knows how to hold on to the right stuff..........:)
Perseverance is not easy and you have to be very determined. Congratulations. I have read your blog for awhile and am so impressed with your success and efforts!
That's what it's all about, not just for dieting, but for life in general. Never give up, try to stay positive, no matter what, and laugh. Smiling and laughing can go a long way toward helping with all of the above.

I only wish I had as much determination myself!
