I am thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled upon my strength.

As I have done research for my food blog, sweet treats have consumed my thoughts. I wrote about it for my home page and it made me realize something positive that came out of feeling negative.
My struggle has been the promise I made to myself to go sugar free after receiving really bad reports on my blood tests. It really scared me after my follow up meeting with my doctor a few months ago. One of the things I did immediately was to work on getting rid of my Pepsi addiction. I accomplished that and have stuck to it a few months or so. The elimination of sweet treats that I love was part it too. I have been so proud of myself.
Well, with sweet treats that have consumed my thoughts I broke down and bought donuts yesterday. Since then I have beat myself up and started getting thoughts of being a failure.
Somewhere between cheating on my quest and now, I have realized that I actually conquered the struggle. It took me stumbling through the struggle that I have realized my strength. And I feel like I go back to positive thoughts of progress instead of failure.
And I am grateful for the struggle!
