This is a follow up to the last article I posted. Earlier in the year, I was chronicling my very successful attempt to lose weight. In May, I fell off the wagon. For the last few months, I have proceeded to undo much of the good that I did before I fell off. Several times I have tried to get started again, but found an excuse to stop.
Yesterday, as I wrote about not taking irresponsible chances with my life for my daughter’s sake, I was faced with my own hypocrisy, and realized why I failed back in May.
I took my eyes off the prize and lost my focus. When I started my weight loss program, my daughter was the reason that I was doing it. At some point, I was so proud of all that I had accomplished, that I forgot why I was doing it.
So, yesterday, as I wrote about other people being irresponsible, I realized that I could not hold them to a higher standard than I was holding myself. As a result, the diet is back on (for her sake), and I got off my fat ass and walked today. Stay tuned….
