Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win

I was looking through my friend's blog and came across this poem which I loved when I was much younger. This reminds me about what Clovis said the other night, going up the hill is always so much harder than going down because when you go down, you can slide all the way down and it's a lot faster!

Relating that to this adventure, just wanting to reach that target weight seems like a really long process! And of course challenging since food food food is everywhere! Imagine, if we give up now, it will be so easy for us to fall back to the unhealthy state we were trying so hard to get ourselves out of. Do we want that to happen? It's all up to us to make that choice.

This is now our chance to break that cycle and those patterns! 

Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst, that
You Must Not Quit.
