This Sparked Me!

Whenever I have felt stuck in my goals as I try to change my life, I have realized that whenever I am strictly honest with myself about all I am doing, THAT is what helps me break out of being stuck. For me, all long-term changes start inside of my mind first before any actions are taken.

    I do agree with you. I know I get complacent after success and gradually I regress in small increments and my weight builds back up in small increments. I'm calling the small increment period a plateau, but actually it's me doing less and expecting more. Not sure how it is for everyone else, but that's how it usually is for me. Paying attention usually gets me back on track.

    I agree, a little self reflection and analysis can point to the next step.

    You're absolutely right. When we lie to ourselves it is not helping, only hindering.
