For so long all I have felt is disappointment in myself. I would get excited about losing weight find a workout that I thought fit me just right and set up an eating plan that would kick me in gear only to have something get in the way. Maybe I'm working out for 2 weeks feeling good eating good but then my son gets sick or I have to miss a workout because someone needs something from me. There was always something and every time something happened and I fell off I felt miserable and I would just let all my hard work go to waste. But I finally realized that it's not a waste to keep working at your goal.  The waste was giving up on myself. All the things that happened in my life itself is a journey and every day I get to write another chapter. So instead of seeing minor setbacks and maybe even major ones as a disappointment in my journey I am willing to see it as part of my journey. I am excited and I have been excited for the last few months because there are times when I've slipped up whether it's not getting a workout in not eating right but instead of feeling disappointment i instead feel confident and happy that I'm still moving forward at my pace but I'm still reaching and extending my arm towards my goal.
