Don't quit

I came across this and wanted to share it.
When you eaten too much and you can't write it down,
and you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your points a bit,
it's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
if you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,
just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bit it, you write it....But don't you quit!

You have no idea how badly I needed to read this today. I have been plugging away at MFP for over 30 days and have never once gone over my calories...until today and I also didnt make it to the gym and only got in 15 min of yoga at home I had no idea id feel this crappy about slipping up and going over, Im just so bummed that I went so long and then fell off the wagon.
B U T , I refuse to give up! I KNOW I can do it because ive been doing it for over a month, I know that 1 off day doesnt mean ALL my days will be off and it just gives me more motivation to try harder tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing this, it literally brought a tear to my eye0 -
Love this!! Thank you. :flowerforyou:0
