Positively Positive

My best friend, Teresa sent me this last week and I love the message it sends

As I was laying in bed last night feeling every beat of my heart where my wisdom tooth once was, I struggled with the guilt of yet another failure.  I love to cook but I completely overdid it last weekend.  The food tasted amazing.  The recipes were wonderful!  But it was too much for so early in my lifestyle change.  I should have chosen one heavier dish and surrounded it with lighter healthier options.  It contributed to my sliding back to the overeating that I have done in the past.  I will not however let this stop me.  It is only failure if I give up and do not learn from it.

I have learned from it and will always use tomorrow as that fresh opportunity to make things better.  No matter how good the day, there will always be a way to make it better.  For me this also goes hand in hand with one of my previous posts . . . .  No matter how bad the day is, you can always find something good in it if your search hard enough.

My weight this morning was back up to 269.2 pounds, which I am guessing is a great deal fluid as I did not get my medications taken yesterday.  Tomorrow should be better as I have managed to get those taken today.  So my positive for today is . . . . at least I am not ALL the way back to where I started.

Today I had a grilled cheese with tomato soup and crackers for lunch.  I will be having Mexican tonight at the Ranch.  There will be NO exercise for me today as very much movement makes my mouth pound.  Tomorrow is once again that fresh opportunity to make it better.  Will you take advantage of this?  I know I will!

           Until tomorrow . . . . . . . . . .
