Staying Motivated

One of the hardest things to do is stay motivated on this journey.  Every morning I get up and the first thing I think about is I have to continue on.  What am I going to eat today?  The ironic part is that the old me used to get up and ask ok what am I going to eat today? Waiting for each meal to come and indulge in all things bad.  Now it's the same question but with a different meaning.  What am I going to eat today to keep me satisfied but also keep me on this journey that seems like it's taking forever.

Yes, I could join nutri system, jenny craig or some other quick and "easy" weight loss but one of the things I decided to do on this journey was to do this on my own, as a normal person with whatever foods are available to me and learning how to handle the food around me.  Yes this is taking longer but I am learning how to eat normally and make better decisions.  It has to be that way.  I've heard to many stories about quick weight loss only for that person to gain it all back when they were done with the program.

I'll take the long road.  I refuse to walk this road again.

As I venture into another day, another week and yet another holiday (Easter).....I will do my best to stay on this path.

Happy Easter everyone!
