Daily Battles

Good Sunday Morning!

It will be a good day and hopefully bring with it great food choices!  Saturday is gone and past and lets just say I am glad that day is over and done!  The day started out well enough, I decided to clean the upstairs and completed that task, and then decided to donate some of my clothes that are "to big" so to speak. Yes; that is an awesome feeling when you try on something and it is to big and falls off! I do not have the heart to part with some of "work clothes" since my sister helped me to pick them out during my heavy time.  Some say they are pretty dresses!  A friend told me one day "I really like your dress" and I said my dress; she was referring to my shirt that almost hung like a dress. I shared that one with Poppi, who thought she was right on!  I cannot help but chuckle silently when I think about that one!

SO many of you are wondering about Saturday and what caused the day break down. After I finished cleaning upstairs, I finally got to enjoy the pool, and met some nice neighbors and read a book and I did finally enjoy the water! It has been a long time since I was able to swim and get in and out of the pool. I love swimming and could live in the pool water all year round.  Any ways I digress; so after the pool we came home, and got ready to run our errands. Completed my wonderful day at the nail spa and then we decided to eat supper. The waitress was not in a very happy mood.  Up until this point my food intake was spectacular! My atkins chocolate shake, and only my drinks in the morning.  I know what you are thinking and this time "you are so right"! I had a chicken sandwich with avocado and bacon, that part was excellent, the non-excellent part was the "bread and FF".  I only ate half the sandwich and some of the FF.

In the journey of weight loss; we are constantly fighting the battle of should I or shouldn't I. The thing you must remember is to look at each day as a new beginning with the hopes, of jumping over the hurdles that are thrown your way!  Struggles come everyday and we cannot beat ourselves up when we fall down. We must pick ourselves up and say "wow" I took a detour, and now I must get back on the road and continue my journey. THE one thing WE must never do is say "I AM A FAILURE" why you ask! When you state this comment you are placing a negative thought in your subconscious, and this will keep playing over and over until  you give up thus allowing the injustice of "weight loss"  to win the battle!  The question is do you want defeat  the weight loss injustice? I know I do; this is why I write my story to share with you, and for you to share with others if you have someone who needs to be uplifted on his/her struggle with from the injustice of  the weight loss battle!

God Speed!
