This is such a mental thing

I think I am surprised every day how much of this journey is a mental thing. It is more about the mental aspect than what I put in my food. If my mind is in the “game” then I am eating well and doing what needs to be done. But in a split second, if I lose sight of my goal, it can all fall to pieces.
Yesterday morning, I turned my head for a brief second and lost sight of the goal. I stumbled. I continued to stumble the rest of the day. The great thing is that we get a fresh start. I was beating myself up last night over my poor choices made in moments of weakness. I can’t change what happened. I get a fresh slate today. In a matter of a few seconds I can determine what course I will go today. Am I going to continue on the road that was miserable yesterday. Or will I start fresh today where the end result is pride & empowerment? It seems like it should be an easy decision.
Yesterday I found another great quote.
The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
Denis Watley
One thing that I would add to that quote is that you must figure out what you are going to do when you get to your goal. I have found that real work begins when you get to your goal weight. If you were motivated by the loss each week on the scale, you will need to find something else to motivate you. I thrived on having a loss each week at my weigh-in. It was my high. Once I got to my WW goal weight, I wasn’t having those losses each week and it really got to me.
I have several new food reviews to get posted. My computer problems have been a problem with me posting pictures of the new products. Growl! I also have one new recipe for a Asian dish that I made. I hope to get that posted in the next few days. I am also working on picking out some new things for my new website. 
I hope that you have a great day. Plus your all in to this for today See what results you get. What do you have to lose?
