So it’s Monday. I did not make it to the gym at 5 AM. I WILL work out tonight when we get home – that’s why I have all these work out DVDs, FitTV and Exercise TV On Demand, right?
Right!
So I had a little epiphany this morning when I was beating myself up for not being perfect.
“You’ve only been doing this for 2 days. How can you be failing already? You have eaten things you knew better than to eat, you chose not to go to the gym, blah blah blah!”
And I realized – in order for this to work long term, it has to be a lifestyle change and it has to be made up of NEW, LEARNED behaviors!!
Now, when your child is LEARNING something, are they perfect at the beginning, and slack of as time goes by? No!! You learn from mistakes as you go and each day you get stronger and smarter and better!!
So why, with “dieting,” do I expect myself to be perfect from the first moment??
No wonder I get frustrated with myself! I’m expecting myself to do it all backwards!!
