One choice at a time

Have you ever decided "Today is the day I will begin a healthy life and lose the weight that has been holding me back?" Have you ever said those words? Almost every American at some point in their life has decided to lose weight, if only it were that easy. If only it was a mere decision that that you had to announce out loud to make it happen. Sadly it's not that easy.

Losing weight (regardless of the number) is a constant choice. It is an every day decision to live for something bigger than a temptation. It is the decision that a healthy life filled with energy and joy is more important than that bag of chips in the cupboard. Losing weight is the sum of the choices and decisions you make each and every day. It isn't 'all or nothing', it is a minute by minute choice to live the fullest life available. So the next time you hear a candy bar calling your name, ask yourself "Is choosing to eat that candy bar leading me to a fuller and healthier life? Is that candy bar more important than my well-being?" The answer is NO.

Make good choices today and don't worry about the end result. Losing weight is merely the end product of good daily decisions. You have the power to control those decisions!
