Hello everyone, ... Here I am at day 4.. I am excited as this is probably the longest I have watched what I've eaten in a really long time.. Today has been a good day so far. My inner thoughts are helping me make the right food decisions... and wow that is an accomplishment for me.. I went out for lunch, and the menu looked really good, Hamburger with Cheddar, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich, oh and how about a nice order of hot fries.. OK OK I know the old Liz would have chosen the Hamburger and Cheddar with the works, and make it a deluxe.. oh yeah with a Diet Coke..The new and improved Liz decided to go with the Grill chicken salad with the dressing on the side.. HOORAY !!! How about that !!
I was reading this morning, "Become a Better You the 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day," by Joel Osteen, and something I read made me realize something...For so long I have been tied to my past, my bad habits, blaming my environment for not allowing me to make the right food choices. But I can't do that anymore. Joel Osteen says: "If you've made mistakes, know this: God is the God of a second chance, a third chance, a fourth and more. God wants to give you a new beginning. "
"Let the door close completely and step forward into the future God has for you. Quit looking back. "
That is what I have always done when it came to my choice on being healthy. I always blamed my past experiences, I was always looking back at the bad habits I created being in the restaurant industry. I am always saying I can't I can't you have no idea how hard it is ...for years I have been eating on the run, not experiencing the meal. Well now I have a new outlook into the future...
One other thing I will quote from the book that I will leave you with today....
"The car you drive has a large windshield, but only a relatively small rearview mirror. The implication is obvious:What happened in the past your is not nearly as important as what is in your future."
TO MY FUTURE.........
