I've been a bit emotional for the last few days. Really regretting that I didn't start this journey a couple of years ago. I really feel like I've let so many years slip away, and it's a bitter pill to swallow each time I look at pictures of old friends who have made something of their lives. I've dealt with loads of issues and could've turned to any unhealthy substance. It just happened to be food, and 150lbs of excess fat is the result.
Some friends have told me to seek counselling, but I'm not sure I believe in therapy. I told them I deal with things in my own way, and they looked me up and down and told me they believe that. OK, so point taken but it's still not for me. I've replaced junk food with exercise, and I'm sure any therapist is going to tell me I'm on the right path anyway. So I think I'll save my money for something else, like a new wardrobe in the near future!
Hoping for a good weigh-in tomorrow, so far the scale has moved in the right direction this week. Worked pretty hard, tried a new class and been making my own dinners for a change. Everything is pretty positive so far, fingers crossed.
Saw your blog through on eof the followers through mine, and we have similar goals:) Looks you are definitely on the right track! Stay strong and focused! You're doing great:)
ReplyDeleteSaw a post from you on fitday. Great job with the weight loss! Now that you have found your path to a different you, it is only natural to regret 'wasted' years. But you really can't look at it like that. Deciding to lose weight and having the determination to stick to it is a huge life changing experience. Would your younger self have been ready for such a big change? Could you have committed as much time then to your goal now? Probably not. The important thing is you are on the right path for you NOW. The fact is everyone must follow their own path and who knows where yours will take you in the future.
