A Farewell to Can't

As I was sitting on my floor reading through my most recent Family Circle magazine and thinking to myself that I can't possibly make it through this holiday weekend without gaining a pound or two, I came across this advertisement for outwardbound.org

A coincidence? I think not.

"This goodbye does not make me sad. I will not miss you. I have discovered what it feels like to do the unthinkable. The hard. The long. The challenging. You have no business here anymore. From now on, difficult will seem doable. I will see the impossible as simply not-yet-conquered. Farewell, Can't. You will haunt me never again. Hello, Can. Welcome to my world."

I wish I could personally thank whoever wrote this ad. It changed my mindset today. Not just for losing weight, but for anything I put my mind to.

Can't. I can do this. We can do this!!!
