As you all know I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. And this journey has been wrought with choices and decisions, failures and triumphs, sorrow and joy.
I’ve been up and down, up and down, bigger and smaller. And I’ve never reached my goal. But I have hit small milestones that I will forever hold dear.
As I have been on this Journey for the last year, I have discovered so much about myself.
I am:
-
Stronger than I thought
-
Happier the more I move
-
Able to drink half my body weight in ounces (or close to it) and not die
-
Able to run and not die
-
Prettier the thinner I get (I know it’s egotistical, sorry)
-
Able to admit that I like myself
-
Getting better at putting myself first
-
Getting better at saying “NO” to the food that calls my name
-
ABLE to achieve so much more than I ever thought
Getting healthy and losing weight is about choices. PERIOD
I choose:
-
What goes into my mouth
-
How my body moves and how often it does so
-
How to react to stressful situations (FYI choosing food is the wrong choice)
-
What time I go to bed (this is very important and hard for me, since I am a night owl at heart)
-
How much water I consume
-
How much TV I watch
-
The people I’m around
-
