How long?

How long can this motivated, inspired, revoltingly happy attitude last?  I’m still feeling it, but always in the back of my mind, I’m wondering when it all ends.  When will I fall off the wagon and hit the drive-thrus?  When will I say “the hell with it” and have a huge slice of that scrumptious peanut butter and chocolate cake baked by my boss’s wife?  When will I give in and have pizza & beer with the gang and decide I never want to go back to healthy?

I just hope I can remember to take it one day at a time.  Keep exercising.  Stay focused.  Baby steps.  Small victories.  That’s what it’s all about.  But I know me, and I know a day will come, and probably soon, when I will wander from the path and have a helluva time finding my way back. 

I’d leave a trail of bread crumbs, but if I fall off the health wagon, I might eat them.

    I think it’s true for all of us. We wonder constantly when are we going to fail. Just remember a slip is just that a slip. Falling off the wagon doesn’t mean a lifes failure. It just means you got some dirt on your pants. Dust yourself off and climb back on!!

    LOL!! Girl, the time will come and hopefully later down the road….Shanna for example has found that when this has happened to her, she feels low on energy and she is quick to get back on the path of good health…my hope for you is that this too is in the cards for you!! Keep up the good work!

    I have fallen off the weight wagon so
    many times in my life, but, since I started BuddySlim two weeks ago it seems that it is so much easier now to get up and back on. Have found that tracking the calories not only keeps you on track but also educates you as to which foods are good and which are bad. It really is a great feeling to know that when you cut off food consumption at the end of the day, you find you are below your calorie allotment. Going to bed not feeling overstuffed is a great feeling…physically and mentally.And, besides, my stomach thanks me!!
