It would be honest to say that I thought about giving up the challenge this past week. I’ve noticed this trend where the change of season, Springtime specifically, seems to shift my priorities in a way where I am not being as proactive with my eating habits. I am reactive with my eating, and slacking on tracking what I eat.
With all that said, week 7 was a rocky one for me. Most of the week I debated giving up. I don’t actually want to give up. I think this is just one of those seasons where I need to hold on and call good, good enough and be honest during the times when I’m not even trying.
This past week, I wasn’t even trying.

This week I didn’t try as hard as I could have, but I also didn’t give up like I had thought about doing. I am working on changing my perspective and some habits that I’ll be talking about soon. In the meantime, I will press on.

Kalyn, I love your honesty and transparency with us. It helps so much to hear you, who are so focused on her goals admitting it when things get tough...even so tough that you know you aren't trying. I've been halfheartedly "trying" for weeks, and, of course, not seeing good results. I have had so many conversations with myself, telling myself it's ok to give up, and that I'm "fine the way I am". I know that I'm a child of God, that I am loved no matter what my size, and I'm made in His image, but I also know that I'm not the best version of myself, and I'm not where I need to be to be able to do the work He wants me to do. I, too, am working on changing some habits. Will be curious to read about your habit changes, too, and like you, I'll keep pressing on! Thanks so much for your words, always.
Thanks for sharing, Lauren! It’s a comfort to know we aren’t alone in the struggle.
