Giving up is easy. Continuing on in the face of adversity is difficult. It can be challenging, discouraging, frustrating, and dispiriting. It's most often worth it.
I've been making good choices regarding my health and fitness over the last three and a half weeks, and for the last week and a half, my weight loss has plateaued. It was discouraging to continue doing the hard work, and declining the delicious [bad for you] foods, when I wasn't seeing the results on the scale. I stayed with the program, though, continuing to make those good choices, knowing that a) it was right for my health and b) while it may not guarantee me the results I want, making poor choices would definitely move me further away from my goals.
This morning has given me hope - I think I might've finally pushed my way past this plateau. I feel a sense of accomplishment and that rush that you get when you've worked hard to achieve something. The one you get when you've persevered despite the fact that you wanted to give up so many times. The feeling you get when you didn't give up on yourself.
It's a great feeling that I carry with me today. :)
