ROLLER COASTER RIDE

Losing weight can be a real roller coaster ride, except not as thrilling. I am sure you have experienced the ups and downs of weight loss before. Right in the middle of doing everything right you can step on the scale and have no weight loss or even worse gain weight. I am not an expert so I don't have any scientific answers I just know that it happens to me too. I had hoped to be able to write today and tell you I was down another pound making it a total of 15 pounds that I had lost but I can't. Last week I got on the scale in the middle of the week and wow I had lost another pound I was so happy! When I stepped on the scale this morning I hadn't lost a single ounce. What happened? I just don't know. I feel it must have something to do with water retention. The point is I know I am not alone with this problem. However, what we can't do when this happens is give up. We need to hang in there and keep going.

Sometimes when this happens it because we didn't stick with it. This can make us feel defeated. Well, don't be. Keep on task. Every time you slip up on your journey, you have two choices. To keep walking backward, which will take you further away or to accept your mistakes, forgive yourself and move on. Don't wait until the next day, the next week, or the next month to try again. Get up out of that pit and start NOW to exchange those bad habits for good ones. Don't expect perfection, we are not perfect. If we were I wouldn't be writing this blog and you wouldn't be reading it.

When I stopped to think about it I realized that weight is gravity defying it goes up so easily but getting it down is very difficult. We don't need anymore weight to get rid of so lets keep on track ladies!

Say along with Paul in Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
