Fortitude, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary means : strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. This is a key component to weight loss. It will not be fun, worth it, but NOT fun. A person must be focused and ready for "temptation" to spring it's UGLY head. So I want to take the word Focus and write an acrostic. Today we will look at F.
F= Fortitude. As we begin on this life changing journey, we must be ready for what lies ahead, in the form of temptation. There will be dangerous pitfalls to avoid, such as that dreadful 2nd helping, eating too much fried foods, eating out too much, or not "having time" a.k.a. don't want to exercise. We must have the fortitude to say NO to the temptations we will face, and YES to the good things which are difficult to do. I can say I want to lose weight, but ACTION is the key. It is time to gear up for battle, because that is exactly what we are in for.
Now, let me tell you my official weigh in for this week: 365 lbs. My goal is to be at 357 by Sunday. This IS a lot of weight to lose in one week however I believe that this is attainable with A LOT of FORTITUDE. Now what is your goal for next week? How will you reach that goal?
