Harbor hope.

Harbor hope.

 

So what do you do when you stumble? Do you shake your head in self-disgust and say to yourself, "Well, what else is new? I always screw up. What's the point?" Or do you humbly acknowledge the fact that you are a flawed human being (like everyone else on the planet) and vow to do better next time?

 

 

If you "slam" yourself too much, you'll lose hope for the future. Hope is your heart's way of pushing you to try more, accomplish more, and be more. Don't extinguish that spark.

 

Action for the day: Reflect on the most recent misstep you made in your WLS lifestyle. Determine what lesson can be learned from it, forgive yourself for it, and then move on.

I love the 'thought' of never giving up. Maybe it's on that 99,999,999,999 try you'll achieve success. Anything that is valuable/precious does not come easy. It's been a long, long time since I've set a goal and actually achieved it. However, TODAY, I have 100% journaled, Molly, I have had 1090 calories, plenty of water and protein, I exercise 60 minutes.. Oh, I pray I don't hear the food calling my name tonight and do what I always do everynight. I so want to break this horrible habit of eating during the night. It's like I'm a totally different person when I'm doing this.
Thanks, again, for the encouragement.
