Persevere.

IsMollyReallyHungry

Persevere.

Some days you wake up feeling tired or distracted. You just don't have the time or energy to follow your regimen at that moment. So, you skip breakfast, or eat that slice of cold pizza that you righteously avoided the night before. Days of discouragement shouldn't surprise you. They are reminders that food will always be complicated -- either a comfort or a distraction.

The key to real change is perseverance. When you take a misstep, for whatever reason, know that you will continue to persevere in your journey. You will start over at the next meal--you will overcome the temptation next time. That is how you'll succeed. Being perfect just isn't going to happen. So persevere.

Action for the day: No matter where you are in your recovery, today you will persevere. Start over every time you stray from your plan. Start over as often as necessary.

Amen!

So proud of the distance you have traveled so far. If you could accomplish what you already have accomplished, you can accomplish anything! Mistakes are just that: mistakes. They are not the end of the world or proof that we are failures. If they prove anything it is that we are human.

God bless you, and keep up the good work. You can do this! (You already have!)

I so agree. This helps when you could kick yourself for that extra food you ate ....
