There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Interesting quote from the Buddha. I hate to say I made a mistake of not going all the way but then I am not finished the journey.

I love this time of year. I work up this morning and the air was crisp outside, the heat of the summer was gone and the sun is out. After 2 months of rain it’s nice to know the fall has arrived. I read the following poem on Judy’ Jottings and I liked it, so I figured I pass it along.

START OVER

If you've started out in pursuit of your goal and you've really tried with all your heart and soul, but somehow things got out of control

START OVER

When you've tried your best to do what you should and you thought this time that you surely would, but once again you didn't do good

START OVER

When you've worked so hard to follow the plan's way and you fought to win a victory each day, but one more time you went astray

START OVER

When the road to success seemed much too long and each temptation was oh so strong and once again you gave into wrong

START OVER

When you've told your friends what you planned to do and trusted them to help you through and soon discovered its up to you

START OVER

When you know you must be physically fit but your hope seems gone and your stuck in a pit. That's not the time for you to quit

START OVER

When the week seems long and successes few and at weigh in time your feeling blue, remember tomorrow is just for you

START OVER

To start again means a victory's been won and starting over AGAIN means a race well won and starting over AGAIN proves it can be done, so don't just sit there

START OVER

Time to start over

The second day of a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day you're off it.

The title is by Jackie Gleason and it so true. Here I sit almost gaining back 80 lbs and wondering what happened. I was on track to make my goal and then I just gave up. I look back and can’t see what hit me, sure my business has tanked, so is it emotional eating, comfort food or was I just too scared of success of the weight loss and went back to where I felt comfortable.

Who know but I can’t keep this up. So here the plan, I start again because I don’t like the alternative. Last night someone said that they had everything to live for and the destructive behavior had to stop. I can relate to that.

I came across a quote:

“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time“ by Abraham Lincoln

All I have to do is just concentrate on today and not let the second day come. I can do anything one day at a time.
