In your quest for a healthy lifestyle, you will fail. You will fall. Everyone does, so stop stressing about it. The key? You must get up again. It is not random that I chose to write about this today. Valentine's Day often involves extra sweets, treats and indulgent desserts. Or perhaps I chose to write this because, I just finished devouring almost an entire sleeve of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies...hey, they're my favorite, and I only get them once a year!
Have you fallen off the wagon of trying to eat well...eaten too many desserts...overeaten until you feel sick? Have you gone weeks without intentionally getting some kind of exercise? Well, that's in the past and you need to look ahead. Yesterday does not define who you are. You don't have to continue on that destructive path; you have a choice. You always have a choice. Each day is new. Start over today. (Or perhaps tomorrow, after all of those cupcakes and treats are out of sight.) :)
No matter how many times you fall back in to old bad habits, you pick yourself up. I don't care if you have to do it every single day. You. get. back. up.
Today is a gift to you. Your body is a gift to you. After all...it's the vehicle for your soul! If you received a brand new flat screen tv or diamond necklace for Valentine's Day, undoubtedly you would treat it with great care; how much more valuable is your body? Take care of it; and ALWAYS get back up again.
You couldn't have said it better. you just have to get back up and do it again!! Great post!!
