I didn't post my weight last week. I didn't weigh myself last week. I got run over by my own bus. I know I can't do this on a part time basis. I have to stay on board, on my path, stick to the plan. Alas, I know this in my head....but still manage to stray. Today, I got back on the scale...and mentally kicked myself a bit. A gain, a significant gain.
Moving past my failure and stepping into the promise that I have made to myself. 20 pounds by Christmas isn't going to happen when I choose to sit on the couch and nibble mindlessly on Ruffles. I need to place my trust in the Lord. Lean on him when I think that I NEED to have one more bite. While it's true that "one more bite" won't hurt, I never stop with one. I start with one. Keeping temptations out of the house goes a long way and that's what I'm going to do.
Tomorrow is another day...but I don't have to wait for tomorrow to start again. I'll start now. God gives us new beginnings. They may not always be easy...but anything He gives us is beautiful.
His mercies are new each morning! And, every minute of every day. We don't have to wait until tomorrow when we mess up. I know how you feel. And, yes, this is forever! We can do it!
