Regretfully, I did not fulfill my commitment to blog for 31 days because I missed Day 21. But does that mean it's an excuse to just throw in the towel and miss the remaining days?
My daughter and I suffered a very traumatic experience which resulted in one of our beloved pets deaths. Little Jesse our 16-year-old grey tiger cat is gone and my house is way too quiet as he was the most vocal among our family. It all happened so suddenly but the hours leading up to that moment was like going from one rollercoaster ride to another without stopping in between.
But...sad, empty and even still a little shaky inside, I'm back. And the same goes for all those trying to maintain a plan for weight loss. All too often we think because we may have fallen off the wagon and made some bad choices the whole thing goes to shit. Well, if we think this way then certainly it will. But one day of going astray does not mean the whole plan is derailed and our efforts thus far have been fruitless.
Much of it or anything else really is mind over matter. If you have a really bad day of overindulgence you could turn your thinking around and say, o.k. that was fun. It felt good in the moment but I'm not going to punish myself for it (because essentially that IS in fact what we do), and just move forward. Think," I'll do better this time." And keep thinking that way every time you mess up until you get it right!
Let's face it, life does get in the way sometimes and sometimes it sucks. Like right now for me. But I will continue to thank God for the blessings I do have and move forward. I hope you do too.
