I was up early this morning, even though it was my day off (4:15 am). I was watching some TV and waiting for Ed to get up and get ready for work. I started thinking about a meeting I was in yesterday, in which the subject of my diet came up. I was so thrilled to boast that I didn't cheat one bit, while in France, even with all the temptations.
I have great support at work, they all want to see me get healthy, and they were telling me how Ed was reading my blog and reporting to them while I was away, about how good I was doing.
As I think about this, I realize that in those individual successes I can draw strength... IT REALLY FELT GOOD to be able to say in front of the group ..." I DID IT". A lesson learned. Our individual temptations may be difficult, but having the strength to overcome them, gives us something to 'hold-on to' and put before ourselves and others to show our success and commitment.
We build our successes one at a time, but with each one, we grow stronger, more confident, more capable and ultimately healthy, both mentally and physically.
