For me it started with Brittany & Brown Eyed Girl. These women shared (in the posts I linked to their names, so you should go check them out) their imperfections.
We all know people who highlight the really good parts of their lives. Which is understandable. I think most of us like to put our best foot forward.
But sometimes, I feel like I just need to get things off of my chest. Own up to it (whatever IT is). You know, make it my bish.
So here it is. I'm stuck. I'm stuck at a weight that I'm happier with (compared to where I was before I began my journey to become more healthy), but at the weight that I'm not completely happy with.
I know how I put the weight on in the first place. I ate too much. I like food. I find comfort in food. I'm learning how to look at it as nourishment for my body, but I still like it. Especially if it tastes all rich & yummy.
But rich & yummy go straight to my tummy.
Sigh.
Traveling can be hard. I know I've posted Tuesday's Traveler before with tips on how to still maintain a healthy lifestyle. And while I follow them most of the time, sometimes I don't.
Like last night. When I had a steak sandwich for dinner followed by a slice of blueberry pie with ice cream.
I can make excuses. "It is cold here. I'm tired of rain/snow/sleet/cold. I want comfort food."
But I recognize them for what they are. Excuses.
With each day being a new day, I choose to begin again.
I may one day do a before/after post with pictures. Perhaps even share my weight with you. Scary.
Now, I know there are people out there who are suffering from worse - health issues, babies they're desperate for & praying for, family circumstances that are beyond control - I know this.
I also know that there are other things I struggle with that make me far less than perfect. This is one I feel comfortable with sharing.
So as I continue to work to become more healthy, know that I'll be thinking of each of you. We're all far from perfect & if you choose to share your imperfections or your goals or your struggles, know I'll cheer you on every step of the way.
