Meet Ellen . . . and learn.Ellen went from 271-1/2 pounds to, as of this past Tuesday morning, 141 pounds.That’s a magnificent accomplishment, of course. But note that I first met her in 2015 — almost 9 years ago!And therein is the story, folks. And the lesson. Most importantly, the lesson.Did she have some trials and tribulations in life along the way?Yes, she did.Did she stop and re-start over the years because motivation ebbed and flowed?Yes, she did.Did she totally give up a few times the commitment to achieve and maintain good health?Yes, she did.And then one day . . . she turned a corner and ran into a miracle.The “I’ve had enough” miracle.The “I want to live life” miracle.And here she is. And her life has completely changed (as she writes so beautifully in a Google review. You can read that by tapping the Hello Instagram link in my bio).THIS is the way to age gracefully, energetically and in good health.THIS is what a healthy, sexy, energetic, actively engaged, happy 74-year-old woman looks like!Concern yourself NOT with how long “it” takes, whatever the “it” might be. If you do that, chances are that each time you give up and give in and quit altogether, that miracle was just one inch away from you just around the corner, but you couldn’t see it because you didn’t make the turn.Instead, focus on trying to move yourself along every day, inch by inch, towards whatever you want and need to achieve in the end. Slow progress is progress.Life will always give you another chance. It’s called tomorrow. So tomorrow, please . . . 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 to take a 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 to make a 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 to 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 your life.
