My Journey to Fitness

~My weight has gone up and down due to the stress of life changing events. I have always been more concerned with everyone else’s happiness than my own. It is time for me to change that. I have always lost weight for other people and now when I am trying to do it for MYSELF I am really struggling. I am an emotional eater and need to find more constructive ways to handle things then drinking or eating.

~What I have learned in the past couple years is I can do a lot of things on my own. I looked adversity in the face and won. I have cried a river over the loss of my father but now I have great conversations with him every day. I am very happy with my journey and how I came out of it. I have a great new job I love, great new friends (I need to say good-bye to a couple of old toxic ones but that is for another day), a loving boyfriend and a weird but it works family. The picture is almost complete…the only thing left is me getting back into shape.

~I have gotten to my goal weight before; I know what needs to be done. My challenge will be perseverance. Getting through it when all I want to do is go to bed. I have been very sad over the last year and have had a lot on my mind. It is time to think about myself and be happy. For me this is more mind over matter. I deserve to be happy and healthy and it is time to start making it happen.

~There is no time like the present, you never know what tomorrow brings. Someday is not a day of the week.

~Any words of encouragement are always welcome. I think we all need each other to accomplish our goals.
