Recently, I spoke at a Weight Watchers meeting close to my home.
A woman who visits this site often asked me why I thought I struggled some days and how I keep getting the motivation back over and over again.
While I don't have a definitive answer, I can tell you that I know I struggle for many different reasons...as i'm sure many of us do.
Sometimes I know it's hormonal, it can be stress-related or just out of boredom...it can be anything that starts me on that path that used to lead to self-destruction.
Then, there are these times....
well, I just dont want to have to work so hard for it.
We all have difficult times, we all 'fall off the wagon'.
What makes me get back on time and time again is experience.
I know now that I have a choice each and every day as to what direction I am going to head in and in the attitude i'll take with me along the way.
No matter what happened yesterday....I know now that one baby step back in the right direction is going to lead to another and to yet another.
I know the more steps I take.....the better I feel.
I know that the motivation comes back and most times with a passion for this healthy lifestyle that is even stronger than it was before.
I know that it becomes a choice....
stumbling blocks?.....or stepping stones?
Do I trip and fall flat on my face....or do I take what I can from it, learn from it and move on?
You still have to live your life.
There is a way to forgive yourself for not being perfect, without letting it be an excuse for you to overindulge everyday.
This is not just about food.
There is a balance.
