Well, this is DAY ONE of my finally getting serious again. I'll keep it short: I've made enough excuses. If I don't stick to it this time, then I'm just throwing away all of the positive energy and opportunity that I have in my life right now. I lost almost 200 lbs at one point and have gained back about forty. That is not ok. This is where the buck stops. This is the proverbial straw.
So, I'm taking advantage of this challenge to begin the journey of losing the weight I've gained in the past several months. I'm not doing it with the attitude of self-hate and guilt, like I normally have. I'm going to push myself to do it with the attitude of gratitude -- and try to remind myself often of this. I am grateful for my family, friends, and loving fiance. I am grateful for my health, for the roof over my head, and the job that I love. I will not let negative words or thoughts bring me down, whether they're from people around me or myself.
Short and sweet for day one. Upward and onward...
