The power of choice!

Happy Labor Day weekend!

 

I was out and about early Saturday morning and decided I needed a lil coffee. I stopped at the Golden Arches drive thru. I got my medoum cup of coffee for a dollar and moved on. When I think back to a year and a half ago, I'm reminded of what the old Dan would have had with that cup-of-joe. He wouldn't have resisted that sausage egg and cheese biscuit, a egg mcmuffin, a hash brown and a chocolate milk along with that coffee. He would have fallen off that wagon, yet again, and spent the rest of the week beating himself up for it. 

 

It really is all about what we want and whether we're willing to make changes. If you're reading this, and you too are dealing with weight issues, I assure you it's really isn't that tuff. You do have the ability to use that control. It's there inside of you--dusty, maybe, but not dead!

 

Now, once in a while, do I have that egg mcmuffin? Yes, I do! The different is, I decide, not the egg mcmuffin. I'm in control now--not the food!

 

YES YOU CAN!!!!!!

 

Peace

Dan
