The biggest danger in this “Lifestyle Transition Journey” is thinking that I have arrived or I’ve got this. As I start to think about the future and some of the many changes that are happening to my body and my mindset, it is easy for me to think I am too wise to fall for the old traps. That’s right! Isn’t it?
When I look at the reality of the situation, I realize that I have spent many more years being out of control of my eating that I have spent being in control of my eating. Many of the lessons I am learning through this “Lifestyle Transition Journey” have been learnt as a result of many mistakes, failures, re-alignment, and blatant honesty with myself and my true motives. I understand that I can deceive myself to have my own way.
The best protection for me and my future success is to realize that I must be on guard against the triggers and traps that will lead me down the path of mindless eating, binges, overeating, bad food choices, emotional eating etc., etc., etc. I must put aside my pride and accept that this is a daily journey. This journey may seem easier as my “Lifestyle Decisions” become more the rule than the exception but I must still evaluate and think through my choices. I must also accept and work out new techniques to guard against pride and the intrusion of old habits.
I choose to accept that with my “Lifestyle Transition Journey” success comes with great responsibility. I choose to accept that responsibility including the responsibility for my choices and the consequences to my health and my family as a result of those choices.
Until the next time – Pause and think calmly on this!
