RAMBLING...What's up w/ the "TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY" crap? :o)

I came across this "rant", below, in a post on one of the WW boards several weeks ago... from a lady who pulls no strings when she posts. A little bit harsh, but HONEST. Obviously doesn't like whiners. :o)

Anyways.... I kind of like what she had to say here.

And here's a little mini-rant on my part:
If there's one concept that just annoys the BLEEP out of me it's that whole "tomorrow is another day" crap. Yup, that's right, tomorrow IS another day, but there's always another tomorrow and another and another and another. And pretty soon, you'll have a string of restarts behind you, but you won't have gotten anywhere. The idea that you can always start fresh tomorrow is just rationalizing not being able to stick to your commitment TODAY. End of mini-rant.

So...how many more tomorrows are you going to be starting over?
Yeah, it IS nice to be able to get back up on your feet when you've taken a detour...no guilt, no kicking one's self, etc... just get over it & get on w/ it, right? That's what you HAVE to do...what is your alternative??

BUT...when are you going to actually get serious about what you are "trying" to do here? When are you going to get back on your feet & say "ENOUGH!! I AM going to do this...I'm not going to TRY, I'm not going to TALK about it....I'm going to actually DO this!"

I know so many people who can't deal w/ the long term reality of this journey we're traveling. I don't know if they've EVER looked @ the big picture...you know, 1 year, 5 years, 20 years down the road. They just want to deal w/ TODAY... w/ just one meal, then the next, & so on. I don't get it. I think you HAVE to look at the big picture! Get used to it, comfortable w/ it...know what your future looks like...feels like...& shoot for that! I haven't given myself any other future than a successful one.

Haven't you ever looked at your PAST? I sure have! Don't you realize that if you keep doing what you've always done, you're always going to end up in the same place that you did in the past? So...why do people continue to repeat this pattern day, after day, after day?

I know that for me, when I look down the road & see my future, I KNOW that it is going to be a healthy one. I have a path to follow. No, I don't expect to be perfect, I'm NOT perfect (that's for sure!)...I know that I'm going to step off that path from time to time...BUT I also know that I'm going to find my way back to that path & continue on in the right direction. I also know that even if I'm 100% on track, things might not go exactly as planned...I'm ready for that!! (I've already had to deal w/ THAT! Plateau, unexplained gains, etc...) Why would I say "I don't like how this is going, all this work for nothing...I'm going to quit!"? Why would I do that?? Why would ANYBODY do that???! I know that THAT sort of stuff is temporary...and my plan shows me being on the right side of things when the rough times are through.

How about you?
Do you have a plan?
I hope so!
