I only look back to see the progress… this week I ordered a tee shirt and I know my mother laughed as I pulled it out of packaging as the expression on my face was one of that I could have passed out. My first thought was they send me a kids tee shirt I cannot wear this! To my surprise it fit and was super cute too. I looked back to see where I was last year on scale and I am down 10 pounds. Sometimes I am too hard on myself and need to celebrate me more.

I love this … it screams fixed mindset sometimes the only roadblock standing in “our” way from “growing is our own self.

Truth is I still get frustrated when I see myself in the mirror. I still see the amount of weight I have that needs to be lost, but I honestly discredit how hard and how far I have come. In 2017, this was an unhappy, unhealthy version of my myself. I have come so far since 2017 inside and outside.

I have 33 pounds to lose… in case anyone does not know I have a love hate relationship with this last 30 pounds. I’m not joking I must eat the right foods daily, get enough sleep nightly, join the 5AM club and walk, walk and exercise in between while drinking 60+ ounces of water to loss a pound! So, alarm set, exercise clothes for week packed, all shoes packed in car, healthy lunch prepared and smoothie for breakfast ready to make. I am committing to WW meeting tomorrow. I can and will do this. Goal 140 just ten pounds more than I graduated 24 years ago. I feel good at 160-150 and am my best leanest self at 140. So here’s to recommitting!

Who is that girl? At almost 200 pounds and only 5’1 in a depressed state of mind and body. I have come a long way…from the inside and out. Look at that goregous radiant smile of a girl that is proud to be recommitted to her health, fierce as fire, carefree with confidence and grateful to God that he brought her through it all.
