My senior year of high school I took a psychology class and at the end of every class my teacher would say something like "make it a great day and do something positive". I struggled a lot in school with a negative self image and depression, to hear, make it a great day, seemed foreign to me back then.
It is amazing to me looking back on my life and see the things I feel I could have changed. The more I reflect on it though, the more I realize, those battles, struggles, and defeats are what has molded me into the person I am today. There is always going to be those thing in our lives where we say "I could have done better" but we can't change what has been, we can only look forward to what will be.
Although it is still a struggle, I am starting to get my groove back. I have had to revamp my schedule to allow time for all the things I enjoy. I am getting my eating and food back on track.
At the finale of the last boot camp, my weigh in showed an 8 pound weight gain in 6 weeks. I am not gonna lie, I was really upset. I shed a few tears of frustration but my friends and boyfriend rallied around me and helped me look beyond my current circumstance and see my future potential.
Today, I chose to make it a great day. Each decision is a choice to do better than I did yesterday. I chose to not focus on my weight or any numbers pertaining to my size. The decisions I make today will be to make today more positive and not to try and make a more positive day in the future. I will not allow the scale to determine my success or failure. It is my choice to chose success or failure no matter what the circumstance in front of me.
So make it a great day and do something positive!!
