So, I'm Not Perfect

Here I am....into my 7th week of Medifast, and I have lost 13 pounds.  The first time I did Medifast, I lost 23 pounds in 7 weeks.  It looks like this time I lost about half as much.

But the good news is, is that I lost 13 pounds!

13 pounds that I will never have again!

The first time, I was 100% on plan.  This time, not so much.  But I forgive myself.

What really matters is that I am on plan right now, for today!

I am not going to compare myself to myself from 2009, because I am a different person than I was in 2009.  My kids are not babies anymore, and have a lot going on.  I am teaching a different grade level, and I have different challenges.

To say I didn't do as well as last time is just plain stupid!  I dealt with challenges differently, made some good choices, some not so good, but I am making good changes.

I know I am not perfect.

I know I am going to make mistakes, but I am not making excuses for my mistakes any longer.

I forgive myself for my mistakes, and I congratulate myself on not giving up.
