Forgiveness!

Good Evening!

Hope all is going well for everyone today.  Here is some food for thought and for us to ponder on. What does forgiveness mean to you and how can this impact our ability to lose weight? For instance when we have a falling out or fight with a friend, co-worker, and or family. Most times we will offer up forgiveness and move on to the next phase of the friendship. SO we when offer up forgiveness do you feel better about the relationship with the person with whom you might have had a disagreement with? I know some are saying "yes" and some are saying "no" depending on the circumstance and or the reason for the disagreement.


SO if you are able to forgive another person are you able to forgive yourself?  What you say "forgive" myself for what? For me the ability to forgive myself for overeating and for enjoying food packed with sugar and carbs! Yep you are correct the ability to forgive ourselves when we eat a piece of candy or eat a tasty toasted bagel "LOL"  yep; I am still focused on eating that elusive bagel! Alas I digress, when we do not forgive ourselves we allow the indiscretion to keep us from moving onto the next level of enjoyment when we lose a pound or 3! You all know I am right cause when we carry this baggage we cannot move forward.

SO! you need to forgive yourself for eating that candy, bagel, french fry, cake or cookie, whatever it is that you felt the need to take a binge day on! It is not the end of the world as we know and allowing ourselves forgiveness, we can take the next step of winning the battle against the injustice of losing weight! Weigh in day is coming and staying on track is one challenge that I am facing each everyday for the next three weeks! I will overcome the urge to eat that "bagel" calling my name! But if I do fall off the wagon, then I will forgive myself and move on.

Godspeed to all and I hope you enjoy the reading! Remember to always to forgive yourself!
