The Struggle

I was watching a video posted by Erik over at www.efbm.me (if you haven't read his blog check it out). Erik was talking about the struggle and letting people see your struggle and it got me thinking. This journey we are on is not effortless and watching people like Erik and his Bride or ErikaFitLove on Facebook overcome struggles is really inspirational because we have to struggle to become stronger.

You don't build muscle without resistance and struggling is just the weight lifting of life. 

We all struggle but we tend to think we are the only ones.

I get overwhelmed easily and today I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. As I was getting my morning dose of inspiration from people I follow on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, I started thinking about how far I have to go and how there isn't a clear path in front of me.

My last month has been full of 1 step forward and 2 steps back. During the weekends I eat all kinds of crap that I am too embarrassed to tell you guys about today... maybe later. Every Monday becomes a struggle to keep away from sugar and carbs then come Thursday it's time to shove crap into my mouth until Sunday.

I don't know if I just don't have the willpower to resist a whole box of pecan rolls or if I'm not mentally ready for the journey ahead. I'm stuck in the proverbial hamster wheel. I know if I do what I have always done I will get what I've always gotten.

So, today I am struggling. I'm not going to give up though. I feel up to the challenge and I'm ready to build my life-muscles.

Today my struggle is finding a path to follow. Today my struggle is not being able to see the forest for the trees. I'm overwhelmed and I just don't know where to start especially with nutrition.

This post is super depressing... what the heck!!!!!

I want to know what you struggle with and what you do to overcome those struggles. Even if you are like me today and you don't know what to do to overcome your struggle I still want to know what your struggle is!
