Well, I failed again….obviously………but, I’m back trying again….
It’s not easy, but I’m working on it. I have managed to exercise every day this week and have stayed within my calories.
That’s about all I can do. There are no bells, no whistles, no big announcements, no promises I fully intend to keep…..
It’s just one day at a time, one minute at a time, one decision at a time.
If the exercise hurts, I think of how much more it hurts to be fat. If I get a craving for something, I think of how much I hate being fat, how many clothes I can’t fit into anymore.
If I can control the little decisions every day and stick to the exercise and keep those things going long enough to get a decent start on this journey, I feel in my heart and soul that I will stick it out and complete my goals.
For some reason with me it’s the getting the “decent start” part that seems to be the most difficult. If I got going, I don’t think I’d stop. When I quit smoking, it meant so much to me that I would never go back, even though I have had cravings for a stress relieving fag from time to time, the benefits of staying away from the smokes far outweigh the need to have a cigarette.
So here I am….A-GAIN, as Forrest Gump would say, and I’m trying A-GAIN.
Let’s hope it’s the last time I have to try to get a start.
