No Regrets

“Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.”

Good Morning SISTER W.W.F.F.,

Guess the jet lag finally set in, or just the total exhaustion of finally getting the house "Joan Livable" again, lol lol.

The above quote, is struck a cord with me, due to its something Bob tries to live by. Bob has always told me, whenever I've made a decision about something about second guessing myself. So when I saw this quote, I thought to myself, ''you know its the same with our weight loss journey". For example, if we are having weeks that we are losing really well, even if its a 1/10 of a pound, we are feeling good about that. When we are tracking, measuring, getting in the activity, well, yeah, like in the weight loss world is really good.

Then it happens, we see that one thing we just have to have a taste of, or maybe it another birthday celebration we have to attend, oh and vacations, and BAM!!!!!!!!!!!! Our world gets turned upside down, and all our hard work seems to have flown out the window. Then what happens it takes forever, if ever to get back on track. We look at that little metal box, the numbers begin creeping up, we begin with the negative self-talk, which by the way, got us as a rule to why we battle those increasing numbers.

Chalk it up as a ''learning experience", and move on. The longer you beat yourself up and try to figure out, ''why did I do that again"? "Why, did I allow that ''whatever", to get the best of me again". The more those numbers will no doubt move upward. Not always, but more times than not.

I know I have a hard time, not looking backwards, but its true, ''NO REGRETS", if you have been struggling, today is the day you can get right back in the ballgame, and mark everything up as ''experience".

Wishing all a wonderful day, and Cara, sorry I'm so late this morning, but I really was sleeping well. lol lol.

Hugs to all, See U all Lighter,

Joan
