Day 1

Dear Meg,

You are not a failure. You are a human being and as a human being are a work in progress. Learning from your mistakes and losing your footing are part of that progress. Why do we fall down? So we can learn to pick ourselves up again. Even if you didn't make progress after May, even if you gained 10 lbs back in November, that doesn't mean that you failed. It just means that you need to do the same thing you started doing in February until you don't have to think about doing it--until it becomes second nature and a part of who you are. That may take a year, it may take 10, but however long, it's possible. It's possible to be fit and thin and healthy even if now you're not. It takes motivation and dedication. You have both of those, so put them to use.

Now finish figuring out those goals and don't let up!

Sincerely,
Your consciousness.
