Defeat

In my journey to a healthier self, I've met with defeat many a times. Sometimes, food temptations are stronger than my will so I encounter a fail. Other times, life activities win over proper planning and then I see downfall during the following week. And when tiredness or busyness take over and exercise doesn't happen I feel disappointed at myself. All of that to mark me with DEFEAT.

Ohh how I loathe defeat!

Defeat makes me feel like I am not worthy.  I tell myself all the reasons why I cannot achieve my health and fitness goals, I am upset with myself and I go down the spiral of guilt, insecurity and self-hate. And so the cycle begins.

But defeat is a lie.

The dictionary defines defeat as "a state of being worsted." And that's it: A state. A circumstance. A status. Much like the status in your Facebook page. A status can be deleted and rewritten!

Good news: I can delete defeat!

And that's my new outlook: I will not allow defeat to define myself. I will make progress, even when my progress is imperfect.

So, here's to a new week of progress! Imperfect progress, but still progress!

P.S. Had a wonderful Sunday hanging out with two of my favorite girls!
