This weekend was a battle. The sabotaging thoughts were firing at me almost constantly. I am feeling battle weary.

It can be very challenging to continue on the straight and narrow on days that feel like it really isn't doing any good and therefore doesn't matter. But that means that it's time to take the microscope away and focus on the big picture, and rest assured that every healthy choice is totally worth it! It is hard, though! Thankfully the really tough times are like the weather, and will change soon.

I love the "resistance muscle" idea - its so true. My sister, who lost half her body weight, always said that when it felt hard then was when it was the most important to just keep on going as with hindsight those times were when the real changes and progress happened.
