I am so disappointed in myself right now! I totally lost focus and motivation. I have been going through so much (most of which I put myself through). The holiday, the 4th, put me in a tailspin I have yet to recover from. I get so emotionally upset on holidays cause I build up all these expectations in my head. When things don't go right what do I do? Eat! Actually I drink pop! I have also been searching for a job with no luck. My best friend man support system love is not here with me either. SETBACKS in my life that I can't control. I'm trying to tell myself that I can control what I put in my body and I can control my workouts! I have nothing but time to work out. I have got to change my Mindset, so my Setbacks won't destroy my Motivation!

Sign in to CommentTry not to let the decisions of yesterday impact today. Life has a way of keeping us on our toes and testing our limits. Just take it one day at a time. I try to wake up each day with a mantra and a goal. Today it was ' I am strong and will not stand in my own way ' and a goal to prep 2 healthy snacks for my vacation. I make it simple and I say it out loud to myself a couple times a day or even post it on my Mirror or refrigerator. You will find your motivation. Stay positive!

What I have learned is you have to take it one day at a time and gradually decrease. For example, if you are drinking 8 sodas a week go down to 7 and gradually decrease. If you love chocolate, workout 3-4 days a week and then on Friday or Saturday reward yourself with a candy bar. To your surprise you may not even eat the whole bar. So go easy on yourself and gradually decrease!
