“This thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down”

Anyone who’s beating him/herself up for straying of the MF path over the holidays (or whenever), please read and apply the above anytime you blame yourself and contemplate giving up or starting some other time. Whatever is going on in your world today is a new day and you can do this! I promise you! So get up and boogie.
So see you on the dance floor,

Rarebear,

I LOVE that quote! THANK YOU! Whenever I get hard on myself for failures, I try to remember that I need to have the grace to understand I am not perfect and never will be and to get so disappointed in myself suggests I am. Quitting only confirms I must think I have to be perfect. Don't get me wrong, my self-esteem has always been lacking - I'm the first to take the blame for anything, and the last one to think I'm the best at anything. So it's just weird that those of us that are not so confident try to be so perfect. I've given up on that quest. My confidence has zoomed now that I have reached goal and have tools to stay in control. Thank God we get to start again! Just take advantage of those restarts as often as needed as many times as necessary and you'll get there!

Thank you so much for posting that Rare!!! Today is a challenging day for me in that I had a food transgression this weekend (see my post "Food Transgression...Food Confessional). As I sit here doubting myself since I fell off the wagon. It's not MF that I'm doubting it's me. That quote really lifted my MF spirit today. Today is a new day!! Thanks again.
