"All great achievements require time."
Maya Angelou
Yesterday while reading, I ran across an article where this woman was asking the question ''how long am I going to do this until I get it right?" Yes, she was referring to weight loss, immediately the answer that came to my mind was, ''as long as it takes."
We have all had the starts and stops on our weight loss journey, we hit the pot holes, we had the detours, we have had our navigational system to go down to the point that for weeks, months even years we were never heard from again. Good news is somehow we find out way back to what works for us.
I have always said, ''there is no one diet/eating plan for everyone'', even with Weight Watchers some of us have to do a little ''tweaking'' for it to work best for us, and our needs, and make it where we can call it a lifestyle. We begin gung ho, for a few weeks, everything is wonderful, then for whatever reason we get bored, we get lazy, we stop tracking, we stop making sure we get in our activity, we begin missing our meetings , and we start to wallow in self-doubt, negative thinking, and then the "Pity Party" begins. We have all been there, we've all experienced this, and no doubt before the end of the year, if we are not already experiencing these things, give it time it will find you.
How many times am I going to do this? Each of us as individuals have to answer that question. Anything that is sweet, fat & salty taste good. We will be exposed to all three of those ingredients these next few weeks. So be ready, if you do fall, work your way back up, dust yourself off and give it another try. Rome was not built in a day, and a diamond began its journey as a hunk of black coal. So if you are struggling, don't be so hard on yourself, today is a new day, the slate has been cleaned off again, start from there.
