Hi Ernie,
I don’t think this sounds egotistical at all – you’re just sharing your experience with how this works for you. I love that you forgive yourself and just start over again when you go off track. What a healthy attitude!
BIG Love,
Melissa

I have also been on a life changing health journey. I quit smoking after 30 plus years, began a diet revamp and a regular exercise routine. I’ve kept it interesting by changing up the gym and workouts as well as the foods I eat. I feel better now than I have in years. I keep in mind my personal goals this keeps me going. Occasionally I fall off the wagon and enjoy eating whatever I want. The key is “ enjoy” it’s like a holiday and then back to the routine. I do not berate myself for my occasional “holidays”. Just hop back on the bike and ride. You have proven success. Remember how you felt those five years and what helped you to keep on keeping on. You took a break, it’s okay, when you’re ready you can resume your journey. You can do it, you have done it!

I will exercise religiously for 10 days, and then something comes up in my schedule and I will skip 1-2 days, maybe more. I forgive myself for this! I just start over again. Same with diet – I am usually pretty good with diet, but then someone gives me a chocolate cake, and I spend a couple days gobbling it up! I forgive myself and start over. I am also a procrastinator – I will intend to start my exercise routine, but then other things come up,,,,, this is a very bad trap for me. I am working on focus. (I know that writing in the first person may sound egotistical, but I am just trying to tell you what works for me – and I credit many teachers for teaching me these things!)
