Every morning when we wake up we have two choices. We can take control and actively choose to deal with events in a positive manner...or we can choose to just passively react to them.

We can whine and moan about gaining a pound or not losing as much as we thought we should have or how hungry we are...or we can look at the loss or gain and make a mental assessment as to how well we've been doing with our calorie intake. Then take into account our age and activity level and get right with the fact that the scales reflect exactly what we've been doing.

Deal with each day as it comes. Forget about your screwups from yesterday...don't worry about how you'll get through the tomorrow's. Just deal with today and commit to doing your best...and at the end of the day put it behind you and move forward.

Well said.

So many people seem to forget that they are still in charge. Yes we can't control what life throws at us but we can do our best to deal with it in a positive manner. Sometimes it is really hard but it has to be better to get up and face whatever is being thrown at you head on than to lie there and let it win.
