Day 4 of 100.

Day 4 is all about failure.

I am starting to struggle in being 100% honest with myself!

Well more my readers I guess, I am know what I have done today, but I there were choices that I made that I wasn't going to tell you about. If I don't write them down, how would you know that I failed today? You wouldn't. You'd be lead to believe that I am doing awesome things and making fantastic choices for myself. But the reality is, even though I am making positive and healthy choices, I am also making many more bad choices and I am letting myself down.

But as I think about my choices today and think about what I am going write in the hope I'll keep myself accountable, I have realised that there is something positive in all this "failure" today.

You see, not only am I writing all my daily actions and thoughts down in relation to a healthier lifestyle for myself, I am writing them for my readers to read and therefore, I am also letting YOU down. I know that sounds a little strange and maybe even a little backwards, but it you bare with me I'll try and explain what I mean.

The thing is I don't want to let YOU down anymore than I want to let myself down. I am assuming that some of you are reading this blog to support me through my 100 day challenge, but many more of you are reading this to find some inspiration or motivation for yourself. Maybe you are trying to connect with someone else, so you are not alone in what can be a lonely journey. So not only do I need to be honest with myself I need to be honest with all of you so you can see that failure is normal. We all need to fail so we can learn and make change. I've read somewhere that fail simply means the First Attempt In Learning. How true is that? 

Therefore, my promise to you and myself is that I will continue to be 100% honest with you so that I continue to be honest with myself and be able to work through this challenge, learning from all my failures and hopefully you can learn from them too.

So yes, I made bad choices today, like chocolate cake, chocolate, extra pizza for dinner (yes it was Michelle Bridges pizza but I over ate yet again), but I will learn from this. Do I really need that extra piece of pizza? Is that chocolate worth all the sugar? Will I really enjoy how I feel after eating that piece of chocolate?

Let us all let FAILURE be out friend.
