Let’s talk setbacks. I’m now a week into my 14-day plan to change my life and I’ve committed to the whats, but every time I try to implement the whens, I run into a brick wall. The last setback was in the form of food poisoning—five hours of violent and painful, episodic and uncontrollable spasms in which my insides splayed open. All I could do in between bouts of “Oh my God I’m dying,” was curl up in a fetal position and cry for my mommy. But, (slow), lasting change is what I desire and, thankfully, all my plans are written in pencil (or at least can be modified with a click of the mouse). I also have a support system that rocks—a circle of a few close friends who are my “lifeline” when I feel like giving up. They swoop in, grab me by the proverbial boot straps and inspire [read: swift kick] me to keep on keeping on.
How is your circle of support?

Great to have people to encourage you when you hit the lows! I also usually find that sometimes you have to go down to go up. Setbacks/failures can yield great inspiration that can push you to the next level! Good luck! 🙂

Hello and thank *you* for the encouragement. I am definitely finding out that, with this challenge, I’m taking more steps backward than forward and seeking inspiration from each and every speed bump. Take care!
