Persist without Exception

Even though people make fun of you... Persist without exception
Even though they don't believe in you... Persist without exception
Even though you're sad and want to emoeat... Persist without exception
Even though you fall down, get up... Persist without exception
Even when you miss you alarm and wake up late, find another time to workout... Persist without exception
Even though making dinner is inconvenient... Persist without exception
Even though soda sounds tastier than water... Persist without exception
Even when everyone else is eating it... Persist without exception
Even though you're afraid of failing... Persist without exception

I've been creating too many exceptions for myself lately... Oh it's dinner out with friends, I can eat a burger and have a coke! Oh it's Sunday night, I can eat an excessive amount of dessert... Oh I just ran 3 miles, I can eat what I want today.

I'm so tired of this mindset. So tired of the excuses, tired of the fat clothes and especially tired of reaching for food to support myself emotionally. I was made for so much more than this. 

Today my new script is "persist without exception". When something happens and I want to deviate from the plan... Persist without exception. I am not the exception, I am the rule. I'm worth sticking through it and reaping the rewards of true health and physical fitness.

What areas of your life need a little script re-writing?
