Thoughts

May 06, 2010

Some days I wonder why it takes so long to achieve a goal. Self reflection answers me with "because nobody is perfect and everything takes time" . I don't always like the answers i get from my little inner voice, but must accept them as my own personal truth. I make the eff fort to be healthy about 90% of the time , because I feel 10% on the naughty list is acceptable to me. I don't find it a failure on part to enjoy life with food, so long as I moderate what it is I enjoy and how much. I able to do this most of the time and find no need to beat myself up over my choices. This is a vast difference from how I thought about things almost 3 years ago, before I decided to treat myself better and get to know a healthy me. The journey I have taken has been worth every minute. I like the scenery much more now and see so much more of the world around me, because I can experience it without worry about my physical limitations due to obesity. I still have some limitations, but they are now challenges to be overcome instead of road blocks that stop me in my tracks. I don't think differently about myself , in so far as the type of person I have always been. My self image has greatly improved and my physical appearance more closely matches my emotional state and personality. I am thankful for the ease of my recovery and the great family and friends I have for support all throughout my journey.
