{hi} there Everyone
A BRAND NEW YEAR – what better time than NOW to make a fresh start and a new beginning… ???
Perhaps before some of our Diet Buddies can make a successful NEW START, they may have to let go of the past… do a sort of “forgetting what lies behind” thing in order to successfully push forward towards a goal that lies ahead. Remember that no runner ever looks back – if he does, he could very well hinder his own progress, either by running into something or by having a fall…
NOW is the time to forget the past, whether that be past hurts, lost opportunities, regrets of eating on Christmas day, or any other 'failures' – these all need to be put behind us if we are to focus on the here and the now and future goals. So I would like to encourage you to determine to put the past in the past and push on to the future.
NOW is the time to look forward, we have the whole of 2009 standing wide open before us… Why not set NEW FRESH GOALS and work our very best toward reaching them?
Sometimes there may also some ‘good things’ that we need to put behind us… someone once said that time is like dipping your hand into a river – you will never feel the same water twice. Life is filled with change and new experiences. Sometimes however, we liked something so much, that we hold on way too long… in fact, some people can hold onto the past “good old days” so tight, that it prevents them from living in the present. Doing so, robs us from the very JOY of living in the NOW MOMENT.
Yes, it is indeed, it is nice to look back at past victories – and it is nice to say: I have achieved this or that… but, if you have no where you are currently heading, that’s not good.
Why not use past achievements to be your spring board, launching you off to achieve future goals and future victories. Say to yourself, if I could do this, I can surely do that… and then work at your new goal.
Someone once said that the worst enemy of “BEST” is “GOOD” because if you are satisfied with what is “GOOD” you will not be motivated to push on to reach what is “BEST”.
My hope for each and every one of you is that you will move into “BEST” – not just in terms of your weight loss, but in every area of your life.

I had origionally written this for a different thread, but was thinking that it would be nice for our DIET BUDDIES to share some of their NEW FRESH GOALS and so I have copied this into a new thread where you can share some of your goals for 2009 with your fellow diet buddies… I for one look forward to seeing what your goals are!!
