As many of you know from your own experience, changing your life is HARD. And not like man I stayed up too late and have to get up early hard, but like zombies are chasing me and I haven't worked out a day in my life hard. I always start the day with AMAZING intention, drink my shake have a healthy snack, either have shake or a salad for lunch, but then the late afternoon munchies sneak their way in and making healthy choices becomes harder and harder. Especially when the kids come home and are ready for snacks next thing you know a couple bites turn into a handful turn into a bowl. SHEESH put the food down already, dinner is in the crock-pot and only two hours away! Just hang on for dear life! I fail most days between 3-5 at keeping things in check. 
And then the golden hour comes and the kids go to bed and we deserve some peace and quit and a kids free snack, you know that one that you have been hiding up high and out of sight because it's yours and not theirs and you don't want to share. You know you have a hiding place! It's getting late and you know you really shouldn't eat but the stash is calling your name! Failure again.... And you go to bed ready with full intention on creating another amazing day. 
So here is what you take from days like mine. You aren't a perfect being none of us are. You will have days where you have your cake and binge on it too. Days where we feel so low that you don't think you will ever get to where you need to go. But then there will be moments or days or weeks where you were flawless you ate right you exercised and you saw the inches and pounds melt away! Both these can occur on a single day. Just remember it's a marathon not a sprint and you just need to cross the finish line. So maybe you snack when the kids do, snack on an apple or carrots or drink a glass of water and see where you stand with hunger. Remember the road is long and bumpy hold on for the ride!
