“Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall.\u00a0 Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day.\u00a0 Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down.\u00a0 And this is all life really means.” \u00a0~Robert Louis Stevenson<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>How long do you have to stay on your healthy eating and exercise plan?\u00a0 Forever — and just today.<\/p>\n

Sometimes \u201cforever\u201d scares us. \u00a0It seems hopeless, \u00a0especially when folks have a large amount of weight to lose. It\u2019s easy to say, \u201cI\u2019ll never make it to the end.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to give up.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s look at it a different way.\u00a0 All you really have to take care of is today.\u00a0 Today stay on your plan.\u00a0 Anyone can do that for a day.\u00a0 Tell yourself that just from now until bedtime you are going to stick faithfully to the actions that will make you feel better and more alive.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow you can start over and do the same thing again.\u00a0 And by tomorrow you will have a successful day behind you so it will be easier.<\/p>\n

But for now, focus on living to the fullest just for today.\u00a0 You can do it!<\/p>\n

Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
