"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be."-- Douglas Adams
I think that is a great quote to remember for much of life, including our weight loss journeys. We may not always have gone or done the things we set out to go or do, but we reached our destinations just the same. I think this gives us hope when we feel like we have failed in our goals.
Lately, I feel like in the weight loss realm anyway, I have failed way more often than I have succeeded. I can't even say I have been having ups and downs, they have all been downs. The more I try to avoid the peanut buster parfait, the more I want it. I have even made special trips to Long Prairie just to get one.
I wanted to share with you something I read recently about eating right. I hope it is as helpful and inspiring to you as it was to me.
Yesterday I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.
My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, I'd gained some weight and I didn't feel so hot.
My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said, "Just think in colors. Fill your plate with bright colors: greens, yellows, reds, etc."
I went right home and ate an entire bowl of M & M's and, sure enough, I felt better immediately.
I never knew eating right could be so easy...
Have a great weekend!
