DO NOT beat yourself up!

in Motivation and Support
Fellow Pals, stop beating yourself up! Remember that part of success is failing. Failing is that wake-up call that let's us know that we need to ratchet up our discipline and also lets us know that we are human. If you fall and scrape your knees a bit, get back up, dust yourself off and POWER THROUGH IT!

Tomorrow is a new day, tell yourself that you are worth it, (BECAUSE YOU ARE!!)

You've beaten yourself up enough already haven't you?

DIG DEEP and GO FOR IT!!

Have a great rest of the weekend fellow Pals!

Santos

    thanks for the post. I really needed that today. Been a rough day for food - bf wanted to go out for mcd and I gave it. Feel so bad for eating it after I did. Just have to remember to pick up tomorrow and get back on it.

    Trying to get there!! Just wish I could believe it!!

    You can believe it! There are days that will seem like the most impossible mountain climb. Days that seem like you are climbing up a mountain coated in oil. I heard a great quote last night that made me think of fitness goals:

    "You have to be able to take the jello and nail it to the tree"

    Even those of us that are in decent shape have days like that. Not every day will be full of puppies and sunshine. That's OK... However that doesn't mean you quit either. Those are the days that you have to dig your heels in a little deeper and wait out the storm.

    ALL of you ARE worth it! You HAVE to keep telling yourselves that. Do this for YOU first! Get back up, brush yourself off because chances are that tomorrow will bring its challenges also. Face adversity flatfooted and let him know "You know what... Today I don't think I'll let you win"

    Stay strong fellow Pals STAY STRONG!!

    Even if you stumble, you're still moving forward.

    We all have moments of insanity. That's OK. You did what you were supposed to do and dusted yourself off. Just like "myOHisFT9" said, even if you stumble, you are still moving forward. TRUST ME, I know. I am the guy that doesn't wat pizza by the slice, I eat it by the box! I have had to make a very conscious effort to watch my diet (NOT STARVE MYSELF) and listen to my body when it tells me that it needs a bit more protein or water, etc...

    I had a moment of weakness that I had to power through this morning, I set my alarm for 4:30am and it went off, I turned it off and held the clock in my hand and said "just 5 more minutes" as I started to doze off, I flung myself out of bed and said "yeah right, just 5 more minutes means you will be late to workout with your troops! NOT GONNA HAPPEN. They are depending on you to get your butt in gear and my fellow Pals here are fighting the same demons!" So I got up, pushed through being sleepy and went about my day.

    Stumble as much as you need to, those stumbles are essential building blocks of our intestinal fortitude. However, here is the disclaimer: We are all adults here so MAKE yourself accountable when you do stumble so that you can recognize your weaknesses, what triggers them so you will be a little more careful not to repeat them in the future. HEALTHY weigh loss is a marathon, NOT a sprint.

    Stay strong guys and gals! YOU CAN DO IT AND YOU ARE SO VERY WORTH IT!

    Have a great rest of your day!
