It has occurred to every one of us at some particular point or another. We were doing so well with our weight reduction diet or exercise program. Then, all of a sudden, we lost all of the inducement to continue what has been working and decided that since we are not so committed to the program anymore and we would as well quit absolutely.
There’s an interesting story which teaches us something very important. Each day both a boy and his father walked round the field where they were raising the sheep to check the fence was in good order. One night, the fence broke and some wolves sneaked into the field and ate some of the sheep. The child cried out to his father screaming out loud that all of the sheep were lost and they were now ruined!
But the dad simply picked up his tools and took his child to the fence to patch it up. Once the fence had been fixed, the father told his child that just seeing as there had been a weakness in the fence doesn’t mean that it will not be fixed or that it isn’t possible for them to keep raising sheep.
In this situation, the fence represents your will-power and your situation. It’d occur that you are too busy to go to the fitness center or go jogging each morning for a period. It’d occur that you cavern in to eating some chips, some chocolate, or any one of your other favorite unhealthy foods. But that doesn’t suggest that you must give up and let your sheep remain eaten by wolves.
After you have stuffed yourself with unhealthy food, stop and mull it over. If you go finishing up on a binge of food, you don’t want to eat more bad food just get it out of your system, to feel better or to be certain it never occurs again.
There is not any problem with that, but don’t allow that to one event damage your inducement or your commitment to your exercise or diet programme. I’m hoping this story has helped you to understand that not all is lost if your resolve waivers for a day or a week, or what have you. You’re the doctor of yourself and you can choose to come back to eating healthy food and working out on a unceasing basis without any fear.
Trust in yourself and make certain you keep your eyes centered on the goal since that is what keeps us all inspired.
