Sixteenth Day

Date:   8/18/2014 6:47:27 PM ( 10 y ago)

Today went much better. I ate my one large salad and that is all. I can tell this is going to be a long journey. I have lost approximately five pounds so far. It's nothing to write home about, but it is progress. I know that I could get it off faster if I were on a strict diet, however, I know myself well enough to know that I would never stick to a strict diet long enough to lose the weight. Then I would become discouraged and probably gain it all back. I think for me and the way I am made up, it is better to just look for steady progress instead of quick progress. By allowing myself some bad days when I really feel I need them, I am giving myself permission to continue on with the battle without becoming discouraged. I also allow myself stricter days if I am able to stick with them, like on the days that I fast. If I fail on those strict days I even tell myself that's ok too. I will continue fighting this battle. It may take me longer to get where I want to go, but I will still get there if I keep fighting. There's no sense in my allowing anything in this battle that will bring discouragement. I know if I keep fighting, success will come. The only way I can fail is if I quit. I'd rather play the turtle than the failure.
