I stopped sacrificingThis was my three-month-long relationship with everything I want to eat that I know I shouldn’t: resist for a while – give in – resist for a while – give in – resist for a while – give in. Somewhere stuck in the cycle of trying to resist and giving in I forgot that results require sacrifice. “Not indulging” makes me feel deprived, and I can only last for so long. But making a sacrifice to achieve a goal is empowering, and I can do that all day. I had an end dateI started a year ago with a “New Year’s Resolution” mindset and intentions to give it my all for a finite amount of time, reach a goal, then ride out the success with the least effort required to maintain my results. I didn’t start out with “major life-change” in mind because I had no idea how deep the problem was when I started! But even though I learned a ton along the way I never revised my goals or changed my mindset, and having an “end date” left me wandering after it past. It’s time to set some new goals, and not just the “number on the scale” kind. I had a start date (it was every Monday for three months)It’s a lost cause today. I’ll start again tomorrow That is a lie I have believed for too long. I’ve realized there is no such thing as a start date. The very next decision I make counts. It is the most important decision I will make today. Every time. Especially this time.
