Momentum!

On a positive note, this is the third week that I've been continuous with my diet and exercising!  And its only getting easier.  Momentum is definitely the word I would attach to this.  Initially, it was very difficult to go from no exercise and bad eating habits, to even taking the first step.  Even the first couple days was difficult just to get it continuing. 

However, at week 3, I'm feeling a different pull.  Whenever a decision comes up that would hurt the progress I've made so far, I get to thinking that I'm already deep into this process, and it makes my decision to not do that task that much easier.

I'm not sure how intermixed with my decision process it is, but there is also one more component.  I read someone say that when you come to a bad decision, ask yourself if this is a decision you would want to make the same every day.  At the beginning, its easy to let that slide because I've only dieted/exercised for 2 days.  But now at 3 weeks, I've got a lot more to lose.  Asking myself that question as I progress makes it easier and easier to say no.
