If only...

Have you ever said those words? If only?
If only I had a boyfriend?
If only I had a good paying job?
If only I had a fuel efficient car?
If only I could weigh what I did in high school?
If only?
If only?
If only?
I stepped on the scale this morning, and immediately I thought, "If only I hadn't stopped that Cinch diet..." "If only I had stuck it out with the P90X..." "If only I could weigh what I did 2 years ago..."

The fact is, I did quit the Cinch diet. I did quit P90X. I don't weigh 148 pounds anymore. I can't run at 8.0mph for more than about a minute and a half (was at one point running an entire mile at this speed and higher). I am not in shape anymore.

So, I have a couple choices. I can sit on the couch and complain about how tight my jeans are, or stare at my closet full of size small tops and complain about how they don't fit anymore...or I can do something about it.

Will I lose 25 pounds in one day? one week? Not a chance. However, I can make choices each day...really each hour...to do the right thing. No more "if only"s. I will only look at today, and how I can make today better through my choices.

What are you going to choose to do differently today?
