I realized something last night. This challenge that I am taking on
isn't something temporary. Like millions of people at the beginning of
2012, I decided to make a resolution to lose weight and fit back into my size 10
pants. Ideally it would be nice to finish off 2012 with a whole new
wardrobe that is slightly smaller than a size 10, but really, that's not what's
important. Last night, I laid in bed wondering why I would let myself
slack off on my diet which resulted in me gaining a pound over the
weekend. Why why why?! Then it hit me. I'm only thinking of
my image in the mirror and not the image inside. You're going about this
the wrong way Steph. Then I told myself this.....
This motivation I have inside of me is strong
and there is no going back to my old eating habits for me.
I am done!
Done with stuffing myself until I can't sit without unbuttoning my
pants and feeling so self conscious about how much my shirt is being
streatched out from the waist. Done! Sick of it!
Done with being tired all the time,
done with being so moody and feeling so unhealthy.
Last night, I realized my goal. It isn't to just lose 50 pounds, and it isn't about the
clothes either. This is the beginning of a new lifestyle for me!
New health!
A new me!
That is my goal.
I have to remind myself of this. I'm not on a diet, i'm improving my health and this is a new part of my lifestyle to make that possible. The biggest challenge I have to face now is to embrace my love for food and my ambition to achieve good health together. There is no living without either one of them. So now, I just have to figure out how to do this the right way!
