The same boiling water that softens potatoes hardens
eggs! It's all about what you are made
of not your circumstances.
Hopefully if you're kids were expecting their GCSE results
yesterday, they passed! But if they
hadn't would you have told them to stop trying, to accept their failure and
just settle for less? I hope not, yet
how many times do I hear people who are struggling with their weight loss say,
"I'm a failure", "I've failed" or "I give up"
because they're not finding it easy or they're going through a difficult patch,
having a few challenges or just not seeing the results they want. Yeah it does happen, they feel like they're
failing so they give up instead of having another shot at it.
I personally will never give up, I'll never accept that I've
failed, you only fail when you stop trying and as much as I struggle, I'll
never stop doing the best I can on any given day to take care of me and my
body.
I'll never be perfect where my weight loss success and
eating habits are concerned, I may have moments of perfection but overall I'm
certainly not an A grade student!
Last night I was saved by a queue, mom came to my meeting
with me which she hasn't done for a long time, Thursday morning is her meeting
so when she said do you mind if I come back tonight, I was chuffed. And my inner greedy, sly bitch saw an
opportunity and she jumped straight in with, "ooo shall we treat ourselves
to a KFC on the way home?", knowing she'd agree because she loves me, even
though the truth is she's not fussed at all!
Luckily by the end of the meeting, I wasn't that bothered and when I got
to KFC and saw the queue, I walked out and decided against. PHEW!
Too easy to get knocked off track and we can be too quick to
judge ourselves, we shouldn't there's so much temptation out there, we
shouldn't fault ourselves for slipping, we should celebrate ourselves for
resisting, there are people out there who don't even try!
Foods being pushed at us everywhere, even as a solution to
our problems on the latest McDonalds billboard campaign I noticed this week. I won't lie it wound me up a bit, they're using Emoji's and the one by
us show's a child, bowling ball, zero score then child in tears, then
MacDonalds, ending with a child smiling.
My interpretation is that a Maccy D will cheer your child up and solve
all your problems! Not good! They've designed a series of them that tell stories
using emojis and result in a burger and a smile.
I've since found it amusing that there are graffiti artists
out there, rewriting the ending, check it out;

Now the online artists have started on it;
There are more sarcastic ones here; http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/07/16/mcdonalds-emoji-advert-graffiti_n_7807886.html
I love a maccy D's as much as the next person, but they
aren't the answer to mine or anyone's happiness, especially children!
Anyway that's me off my soapbox! I don't even understand half of these emoji's anyway, just googling them, I've realised the one I thought was someone crying is joy! I googled them http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-100-most-used-emojis/
I've got a nearly day off, once I've done the
must do paperwork, I think I'm going to chill today, gotta nip Alfie to vets
early on for a check up, then I'm thinking I might do a bit of cooking, look
for something to do with my defrosted pack of beef mince - still emptying the
freezer! But now I'm thinking something
as easy as proper homemade burgers! I'm
off to google for inspiration.
Enjoy your day BeYOUtiful, remind yourself there's more to
the happy than food!
