Baby Steps

I was supposed to do my measurements at the gym next week but today I couldn't wait anymore. I could tell something was different and I wanted confirmation I wasn't seeing things.

I have lost 31.25 inches since the last week of October! Can I get a great big Heck Yeah?! I am stoked. There are a few people around me who are melting weight off them in record time and they look fantastic! I had to work out not comparing myself to them. That doesn't seem like that much when they have lost like 90 pounds! But I am very pleased.

I'm pleased because I can see a significant change in my attitude, in my thoughts, my self esteem, and my eating culture. If you are just joining us I encourage you to go back and read "Fat Kid" a few months ago. It will explain a bit for you. Where I used to eat through my emotions I am noticing as I have worked out the stuff inside it's changing everything I do. I can tell a difference in the way I am managing my emotions and the hard parts of life that scare me. Oh yes there are a few!

It's so amazing to see tangible growth. I am excited because I know this is the real thing for me. I'm not doing a diet like I used to do where I'd lose a bit then get frustrated and quit. This is baby steps to a different life. It's learning to make the tiny choices. Each little choice I make combines with the next one and together they are changing the picture of how I live my everyday.

The process is exciting for sure. I'm encouraged. Keep going! Whatever the little thing is, whether it your health, finances, or relationships. Just keep making little choices, and when you choose the lesser choice for your situation, remember for next time, but know consistancy will get you there. Somehow it becomes part of who you are and notice little by little you are starting to look different.

Exciting!
