SURROUNDED BY BAD CHOICES!

Today we spent the most part of the day at a local state fair! SURROUNDED by so many food stands. Corn dogs, funnel cakes, lemon shakeups, cotton candy, deep fried twinkies, deep fried oreos, pizza, ice cream... YOU NAME IT!!!! but let me tell you I was not 1 bit distracted by what was around me. Of course I read all the things that each stand had to sell, but I was no tempted to get any BECAUSE I HAVE WORKED TO HARD AND I FEEL TO GOOD!!!!!

BUT THEN I SEEN IT.............AND STOPPED IN MY TRACKS..

FLAVORED WATERMELON...... SAY WHAT????

As I stood there asking this man what in the world he had, he explained to me that I could pick any flavor listed below and add it to my watermelon. No sugar added and no artificial sugars, so of course I was SO excited and without even thinking bought some! I was so thankful there was something there that I did not have to feel like I was not getting anything or that I was left out (you know how we make ourselves feel sometimes, even if it isn't true!) I walked away 1 happy lady with my Blue Raspberry and butterscotch flavored Watermelon and YES it was DELISH!

Sometimes we try and make ourselves believe that we can not make a lifestyle change because we are surrounded by bad choices everyday. YES that may be true, we might have things everywhere, but it does not mean that we can not stay focused on our goals! Sometimes we have to stop for a minute and think about the reasons we decided to make a change and remember what we have accomplished and how it has made us feel!

Am I saying you can not have that deep fried Oreo??? Of course I'm not! Have it if you want and then do better on the choices the next meal. I am just simply saying that YOU CAN change your mind set and STILL be just as satisfied. I have said it from the very beginning..... you have to have a mind change if you ever plan on sticking to something!!
