I've been thinking about the end. No, not the BIG END, just the end of my weight loss journey.
I have this grand idea of loosing 100 pounds ~ and that that would be the success I have been striving for. Now I'm not so sure.
Right now, I think the success is in maintaining what I have lost. The fact that I am still wearing size 8 jeans and not gaining during this hectic time in my life.
Sure, I make some bad choices (twix, pizza or cookies from time to time) I can off set that with exercise or for every poor choice I make I'll make a good choice - apple, yogurt, etc.
I think the real victory here is balance. Living life like a normal person. The joy in knowing that the clothes I wore last week will still fit this week. The joy in knowing that when I meet someone new they are looking me in the eye and listening to what I have to say..not thinking ~she'd be pretty if she lost some weight.
I know those 16 pounds are not going to disappear on my deadline ~ and thats fine. What I'm focused on right now is work...how nice not to be obsessed with my girth and food.
I am blessed ~ made it though another dark winter ~ yay for daylight saving time!
Roll on Summer!
Have a great sunday ~ get outside and enjoy!
We're awesome. And I agree DST, FTW!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to look at things. You are successful!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be in a good place right now and that makes me happy. I use you as my role model a lot.
ReplyDeleteJust 5 minutes ago I asked my husband when we can open the pool. DST = Summer to me too!
