Day One

It's always Day One!
I'm always starting over. I'm always picking myself up. I'm always in need of a mulligan!
Today is no exception. It's Day One. It's been a decade of attempts but it's still day one.
And I've started out strong.
Got up early. Made lunch to bring to work. Avoided temptation. Drank lots of water.
I could focus on all the things I'm not doing.....not planning my meals, not counting calories, not exercising. The list goes on. But instead I think I'm going to focus on the positive; on the things I can do, and on the things I am doing!
Let's face it. Even if I lose a miniscule amount of weight, it's far better than the upward road I have been taking for the past 10 years. It's far better to do what I can do - and keep on keepin' on!
There are no more Day Ones for me. This is it. This is the last Day One I'll ever attempt. From now on, even a bad day - a bad week - or a bad month - will still be measured in days! Because I now fully believe that each day either moves me closer to my goal or further away from it.
And if I'm being honest, I'd much rather be moving forward, no matter how slow I'm going. So today, when I made the decision NOT to eat a 100g chocolate bar (which inevitably would have led to two.....or more) I chose to move forward. I made a choice that will help move me toward my goal. And that says something right there!!!
So here's to my last Day One!
