**** AMAZING GRACE ****

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, 
and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
 It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."
Carl Jung



Hey- losing weight can be tough at times. And just like the above HAPPY LIFE- it has its measure of darkness. Some days you are oh, so good! And some days, you've thrown in a lot of towels.

Take your good days and run with them. 
Do the best you can when you feel empowered.
On the "bad days" try to minimize the damage- and at your next available opportunity,
 jump back in to the direction you want to be traveling.

Nobody gets to goal without hitting a lot of speed bumps. Take them with "patience and equanimity" - forgive yourself and MOVE ON!

My coaching classmate from Texas calls this "GRACE." Give yourself some grace- which I connect with "patience and equanimity." It sure beats beating yourself up. Try some GRACE. It is amazing.
