Tipping the Scales

After stepping onto the scale and noticing a much higher number than usual, I've decided that something must be done to remedy the ever climbing number. It is not as if I am sedentary; In fact, with my physical therapy appointments, I am getting more than the required amount of exercise. The problem lies in my immense love of sweets. Today, for instance, I enjoyed 2 peanut butter cups, a pack of gushers, and a piece of raspberry cream pie. Even I realize that this is entirely too much. And there lies the problem.

Some one once told me that the key to success in anything lies in the planning stage. It is easy to recognize the problem and even easier to forsee the desired outcome. The one thing standing between most people and success is a lack of planning. If you are not fully prepared for anything that may come between you and your goal, you will find yourself unable to overcome obstacles. This lies directly in contrast to my favorite quote of the moment, which says, "The most successful people did not know how they would become successful, they only knew that they would," The Secret. It seems I will have to incorporate the advice of my good friend as well as the advice of The Secret. I will envision my success while laying out a plan. Any suggestions are welcomed.
