I joined SW a couple of months ago for the second time and in the beginning lost half a stone. But then life happened and I haven't lost any more and was thinking of stopping. Yesterday I had a conversation with my son's new college. He has autism and attending college is a massive step for him. After a year of small visits with us he is now starting a 45 minute lesson per week with a view to moving to 3 lots of 45min lessons a week by the end of the year. Now to some people this may be nothing but to us this will be a huge achievement. Nobody had seen this as a failure. Everyone is full of praise at this amazing acievement because even at this slow pace he is expected to get there in the end.
This made me realise that even though I am travelling at a slow pace I will get there in the end and it is better than not trying at all. So once again I will start tomorrow with the hope that next week I will stick to plan. I hope to lose but I know that looking at the bigger picture if things happen and I go off plan, I won't feel I've failed I'll just keep trying. My son has been such an inspiration.
