Wow...

Feb 15, 2009

So I am at work right now...just getting the usual morning paper work organized...therefore, taking some time to kind of reflect...I know...normal people tend to reflect driving or sitting at home or hiking or something...usually not at work...what can I say, I am special

Anyway...at the beginning of my journey...my BMI was 52.5...well, if you begin at the beginning - beginning, I was pushing 400 pounds and a 55 BMI-ish...in less than a year's time I have dropped a whole person and my BMI is now 37.3 and falling. I feel better than I have since...good Lord, I have no idea...the only thing I regret is NOT getting it sooner. I've wasted my entire 20's being extremely hard on myself...scared to take chances...hiding behind my weight and body image issues...as I near 30, I feel as though I have shedded all of that...I have a second chance...and I appreciate each day I wake up and can move around and run my 3 miles at the gym...I took life for granted and didn't care if I woke up the next morning...how selfish is that?!?!??! Now I thank the Lord for the sunshine....even thank Him for the horrible cold and snow...because you never know when that ability will be taken away from you...

So I sit in my office, overlooking the woods in South Park, thanking everyone and everything that has gotten me to this day...and my days to come...

Something I haven't had for a long time: Faith and Hope!!  I have them back and pray I will never lose them again.



Until next time...
