Friday Fact

Yesterday I did it.

I overindulged.

I didn't think it was THAT much, but when I stepped on the scale this morning I found that I had gained almost a whole pound back.

You can try to say that it's just normal weight fluctuation.

But I just don't think that is the case.

My scale so-far has been quite reliable. It hasn't fluctuated at all day-to-day (except to go down on occasion).

And so all of my work earlier this week was counteracted by one simple day of over-indulgence.

And that's when it hit me.

I can't just be losing weight.

I have to be changing.

My whole lifestyle.

My way of thinking about food. About exercise.

The way I relate to food. To exercise.

It can't be temporary.

It must be permanent.

Otherwise, I'll just gain it all back when I'm done.

What a waste that would be!

And sure, I know this is not new information. I've heard it all before.

But I think I'm finally starting to get it.

Really get it.

Good thing today is a new day.

And I will start over.

Again.

And again.

As many times as it takes.
