Never Give Up

It has been a struggle the past few weeks.  I have made bad choices and followed them with other bad choices.  Eating right is so difficult for me!  The really sad part is that I know I am making a poor choice, and I do it anyway.  I recently read a blog post in The Happiness Project that reminded me that I am not good at eating a little bit of something....like M&Ms, chips, or any other carb that calls my name.  I need to just say "no!" to all of them.  It is easier to walk away from all of them than to try to eat just a little.....And neither of these is really "easy."

There's a Japanese proverb that says "Fall down seven times, get up eight."  That is what I need to do---get up! The change I need to work on right now is getting up rather than being defeated.  It is time to get up again and move on toward my goal! (This little video is a great illustration of getting up after a fall.)
