No excuses ever.
I quit lying to myself. Pretending I didn't eat my way to 318 lbs. Pretending that I exercised. Pretending and hiding. I was really good at that.
But then my band gave me hope. It didn't do the work for me but for the first time I could keep off that 30 pounds at the beginning of a diet. So with that hope came change.
Change and NO EXCUSES.
Because now, there is no reason for me not to be active. I am quite cable. I am also quite capable of eating right 90% of the time.
Do I slip up?
Yes.
Because I am human. But, I don't make excuses when I do anymore. I just shake it off and try harder the next time.
Repeat after me: NO EXCUSES, NO EXCUSES, NO EXCUSES.
You got this. You can do it. Forget the stumbles that you have encountered along the way and focus on the overall prize.
The prize is a healthy life. Full of living. It is definitely worth it.
what a great post!

ReplyDeleteAmen, sister. Honestly, I feel like the people who say stuff like, "My eating was right on point today!" or whatever are lying to themselves... and the rest of us. Nobody's perfect. Blah.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was a whole 'nother tangent wasn't it?
No excuses. Love it!
Just what I needed to hear today. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder ... thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteSuper awesome!! So true! I feel the same way on this end. I have the tool that will give me a huge step up but I still have to work at it. And not lying to ourselves about the slip ups is important. But like you said...you slip up you move on and keep going. Thanks for the reminder!!
