Sometimes, when someone has a stroke or something, they have to relearn some things. That's how I feel with my weight loss journey right now. I KNOW what to do. I've done the healthy thing before. I KNOW!!!
But something happened.
And now, I'm wobbling. I'm taking baby steps...and wobbly ones at that. Because I'm NOT where I once was. I CAN'T just jump in where I left off.
I'm wobbling and relearning.
Today's food and exercise intake for today would have looked like a FAILURE in my eyes a year ago. But today, I look at it in its imperfection and CELEBRATE because it is better than yesterday.
TODAY I wrote out my meal plan and calories for the entire day. When hubby came in with a box of little debbie Christmas cakes, I did immediately eat one. But then I readjusted my calories for the day. I exercised today. A small amount, but I did it, which beats not doing it. Then, right here at 8 p.m., I ate a spoonful of peanut butter, with syrup, white toast and a cup of milk. This was NOT on the plan. But I owned it. It could have been a lot worse.
wobble, wobble
All I have to do is work at it every day.... wobble, wobble...keep moving forward...keep improving.
And one day I will realize I am back to where I was....then I will have passed it!
I refuse to go to bed feeling like a failure. TODAY WAS SUCCESSFUL, Amy, believe that.
Thats it, we can't be failures because we haven't stopped trying. :-)
