Stop Giving Up
Start & Stop...
Up & Down...
Loose weight & Gain Weight...
I was so tired of this endless cycle of starting and then giving up. With each new "try" to get control and with each new "failed" attempt I lost the motivation. I lost a little more belief that I could actually look and feel the way I wanted to. And what started to take root where thoughts and beliefs that "I would never get there, I would never looked the way I wanted, I would never feel the way I wanted to, I would never achieve what I wanted, I would always end up here. And ULTIMATELY the thought would come and win..."What is the point anyway?"
What if you made a commitment to yourself...RIGHT NOW. A commitment that said you were done giving up. That the times when you failed were no longer "failures" they were times where you learned, grew, and change. The times where you succeed were not because you were 'good' but they were because of hard work, thought changes, & times where you honored what you said you wanted to do.
Each time you start and stop it takes that much more effort to start again. The thoughts are heavy and deep; you use your past as evidence as to why those thoughts are true and it makes it that much harder to start again. So what if instead of taking that energy to start again; you used the energy to keep going.
To keep going on the days where you over eat, when you miss a workout, when you have a binge, when you let the negative thoughts win the battle, when the anxiety, stress and worry over takes you...what if you kept going?
