Today I was reminded how important it is to do things for myself. Some times we are faced with situations we never thought possible, or that we never expected to happen, but, when they do come along, no matter how disheartening they are, we need to remember who we are doing this for.
I will not explain my specific situation, but the result was me having to rethink why I was doing what I am doing, WHO I am doing it for. Sometimes we get caught up with the reactions we get by others, and the motivation they give us that we end up forgetting why we are doing what we are doing. And when these life lines all of a sudden crumble, dont notice, dont care, and you are all on your own, you need to remember who you are really doing this for, yourself.
At the end of the day, YOU got you through your workout, YOU woke up at 6 am and YOU followed your diet to a tee. There is no cheating, or riding on the back of others when it comes to the battle between you and that new body/lifestyle you want to achieve, it is all YOU.
This is one time to be proud. Pride is not always a bad thing when kept to yourself, never think you cant be proud of your accomplishments. No one knows where you have come from, and what you have gone through better than you. So remember, when you come to that fork in the road, when you can either turn back, or keep going, YOU need to make that choice for you. If its not for you, you need to change your goals for you. The strong move forward, and the indecisive stay behind. Decide for you, continue on, and remember when faced with a test of your will, if you succeed, you can only get stronger.
