Along with all ventures in life comes success as well as times when we feel as if we failed. What is success? Well that answer is a personal one for each of us. The world's definition is different than mine. I feel that I have succeeded when I set out to accomplish something and each day make those small changes that will help me get to my goal. Success is never giving up. So many times in the past I have set myself on the path to rid myself of this prison I have locked myself into. So many times I took steps and started out so well only to give up a few weeks into it believing it is just to hard. Well guess what it is hard. Losing weigh is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
I have raised three children pretty much on my own. I have gone to college and finished my B.S. in Education. There are so many things that we each do in our lives that is truly difficult. This journey is bar far the hardest for me. I have so many ups and downs but I just won't give up. The small steps I take each day are success to me. Eating breakfast when I never was a breakfast person, choosing to exercise, making those small choices that are turning into big ones. Some weeks it is just facing the scale no matter what. Yesterday was such a day. I went to my weekly weigh in and was surprised to see I was down 3 more pounds and have now lost a total of 51 pounds. Each small success lets me know I can accomplish my goal. Failure is a choice we can make as well as for success. Failure for me is not an option. You see failure is not how many times you fall down it is whether you will pick yourself up, except what has happened and then brush it off and continue on. Today I chose to succeed. What is your choice?
