This blog is for my friends - and their friends - a resource for random comments mostly focused on nutritional information, but would include related areas of overall health, exercise and attitude. I am dedicated - and have always been - to helping anyone who asks about any of these subjects, and if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. So, ask away...m.

The Wagon
A few days ago I received a comment from one of my friends that mentioned "falling off the wagon". Yes, it IS easy to do, and it's important for everyone to change your mindset so that it can also be EASY to get back on - it's a much more positive attitude that could be the key to success in the long run. The more positive you are, the happier you are, and the happier you are, the better to handle the pressures, ups and downs, or whatever it is that causes you to get frustrated, give up and/or quit trying to reach your goals. Falling off the wagon can actually make you more determined to stay on track when you do get back on - and "practice makes perfect" has never been more appropriate. You can't do one thing about what has already happened, but it's entirely up to you what you do from here on. Learn from your mistakes but don't spend any more of your precious time and energy thinking about them - spend it on making a conscious decision that you are going to feel good and just start by doing one thing - one little thing - towards that goal. You CAN do it! Melissa
