*Love* this entry! I am often so hard on myself that it sets me up for the “I’m a complete failure” mentality if I don’t do everything 100% exactly on plan. I really need to let go of that all-or-nothing mentality. I think that’s really the key to making this a true lifestyle change and not just another diet. Thanks for sharing!

i think you are so right! it’s better to make healthy changes on an ongoing basis than sign on to something rigid and expect to be able to do it forever.

Those are some smart words lady It’s hard to not expect perfection from ourselves…a constant battle I face.

It’s so not about being the “first” to finish your weight loss journey! You are exactly right that being rigid often causes us to quit our journey’s completely.

Great post!

Great post. This is not about perfection. It’s about progress. Keeping the right attitude is crucial. Slip-ups happen. That’s life. Best to give yourself a break and move on.

I wanted to thank you for your thoughtful comments the past couple of days. They are much appreciated.
