What if you fall?? 

Often times when we are battling with something in our lives and are trying to overcome it, we are always tempted to fall. You are more than likely gonna fall at some point in your journey. This applies to more than just weight loss. Lets use food as an example... you're rocking along on your diet and you have lost a few pounds already, feeling good about this attempt to make a change. Then out of the blue, temptation strikes. You are asked to go out to eat with a friend, or your having company over and you wanna make your best most fattening desert because you know it will be a hit, or what about when the HOLIDAYS roll around!! Oh no, the holidays?? I have to have my favorite millionaire pie or I have to have 3 helpings of grandmas buttery mashed potatoes. The fact is.. you DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT! But if you do, if you stumble and fall over into the mac-n-cheese bowl.. ITS OK!!! It doesn't mean that you have ruined it all! It doesnt mean that you should just forget your diet and continue eating like you used to. Just pick yourself up outta the cheese and dust yourself off. Your fine!! The worst part about falling is picking ourselves up! Its much easier to roll around in our own misery, beating ourselves up, and thinking well I am obviously not capable of doing anything right! Im guilty!!! Your are human. You are gonna make mistakes. You are more than likely, at some point, gonna trip and fall over temptation. But the question is.. Are you gonna let it keep you down?? I challenge you to stay strong and try not to fall! But if you do.. forget about it, learn from it and move on!!!
