Tomorrow Is Another Day


This is probably one of my all-time favorite quotes.  It is by Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. 

This is a quote that can be taken as negative, or positive.  This post is about making it something positive.  Many times I have quoted this, and probably, not for the most positive of reasons.

We all make mistakes.  Most of us have probably had a moment, or more, that we were not the most proud of ourselves, or our behavior. Maybe we have made a hurtful comment to someone. For those of my friends in Weight Watchers, we may have a bad day, or we may fall off of the wagon for a long time.  We may see a shift in the scale, and it be so disappointing that we just give up.   The point is, that beating ourselves up over these things, is just not good for us.  We all have to learn to forgive ourselves for these things.

It is good for your heart, mind and soul, to move on, forgive yourself, and let the past be the past, even if the past was just five minutes ago!

So, get back on the wagon!  Strive to change the number on the scale for the better!  Strive to be a better person!  Tell yourself that tomorrow is another day, and make tomorrow a better day!  Each day gives us a new start!

    Yes, so true. We need to remember Scarlett's words and be kind to ourselves when we make mistakes.

Doubt Can Kill Your Dreams

Doubt kills more dreams that failure ever will.  All of us have dreams (or goals, if you want to look at them that way.)  As an example, we want to lose weight.  When you decided that you wanted to do this, did you doubt that you could do it?  Did you think that you could do it, and then have someone else tell you that you wouldn't be able to do it, therefore, making you doubt yourself?  How do you think that this will affect your attempt?  If you have a bad day, do you just throw in the towel, and tell yourself that you knew you couldn't do it? I fall into this category.  I want to run a mile, but I have caught myself doubting that I will ever be able to do it.  I have doubted my ability to do this for many years. I justify the doubt by telling myself that I'm just not a runner.  Well, I want to get past that.  I really want to be able to run a mile.  I know that to accomplish this, I will have to constantly tel...

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...

Negative v. Postive Self-Talk and Self-Esteem

Before I get into stories, and my point of view on this topic, I have a confession.  I am a work-in-progress when it comes to this.  Knowing, and practicing, are two very different things.  It takes personal growth, and I believe that I am slowly, but surely getting there. I believe that the majority of people are unhappy with themselves, for one reason for another.  We may feel fat, ugly, incompetent, lazy, or have any other of a million different ways.  I believe that we all can relate to some, or many of these feelings. My story is that I did look at myself in the mirror, and I saw myself as fat, ugly, and sometimes, pretty much worthless.  Sometimes I saw a total failure in that mirror.  When I would talk to myself, and to others, I would call myself those things, but also referred to myself as a fat cow, a hippo, a moose, or a manatee (a sea cow).  How's that for hating yourself and being negative?  How this affected my self-est...
