I can't even count the number of times I have given up at getting myself on a healthy path and I really do cringe to admit that I gave up again. It's an exhaustion point I hit and the straw breaks and I eat whatever I feel like eating when I feel like eating it.
This morning I was thinking about the number of things I have tried to keep myself fit and healthy and started to feel discouraged. I walked into the kitchen to make breakfast and spotted a fortune cookie on the table from our dinner the other night. I cracked it open and read my fortune:
Failure is the chance to do better next time.

Message from the universe? I plopped down at my computer, clicked on my Blogger reading list and stumbled across
this guest post on MizFit's blog. It dawned on me that I could try all the gimmicks in the world but if I hadn't laid the proper foundation, none of it was going to do any long term good. My necessary foundation work:
Love thy self.
Here I come world, task and fortune cookie in hand.

How true is that fortune?!! "Never ever give up" and "love thyself" are words to live by, for sure!
And you look great in your picture, even with morning hair :)
Nothing encouraging to say other than I know how that feels. It's a journey of ups and downs, detours and lost paths. But if we continue on the journey we will get there eventually one way or antoehr.
I honestly can relate. The past few days, I have made some really stupid eating choices, and I felt like just giving up. But I have to remember the good that has already come out of my new eating and exercise habits. I don't want to throw that work away!
Seriously, congratulations on being strong enough to jump back into it. That's one of the hardest parts, I think.
