Choices, Choices!!!

I have been thinking a lot about choices lately.  About the choices we make in general and in life.  Big choices and little choices and the outcomes that occur due to these choices.  I have come to the conclusion that I wouldn't be who I am today without having made the choices I have made in my life.  Although some of these choices led to less than desirable outcomes, I have learned and been made a better person due to these choices.  Today I almost made the choice to give up on eating healthy; I almost quit again!  I had something just short of an emotional breakdown .  .  . mostly due to extreme exhaustion, stress, and some extenuating circumstances!  And then to top it off I stepped on the scale and weighed four pounds more than I did last week.  I really can't understand why, but it is what it is.  I know that my scale does not work very well and that in order to see it I have to shift my weight, which generally changes the number.  Nonetheless, it was so frustrating!  I instantly returned to the if it is not working what's the point.  I thought that throughout the day .  .  . what's the point?  I have decided that I am the point!!! I am doing this for me!  I am so tired of having my weight restrict what I can and want to do!  I want to be healthy!  I want to be fit and I have to stick to it . . . I have to make healthy choices everyday!

So, how do you keep going when you are ready to give up?  What motivation do you use to keep plugging along???
