A recommitment: A fresh start? No. A committed start.

Filed Under motivation | 154 Comments

I really like how Shape magazine follows one person’s journey for a year in their weight loss diary section. Somehow reading about a person’s constant progress - and sometimes lack thereof - rejuvenates my motivation in a way nothing else does. The success stories are great - it jumpstarts my interest, but this diary concept is somehow more real, and affects me more. Sometimes the diarist suffers a set back, sometimes they don’t lose a lot of weight but they gain a lot of confidence and self-respect. Sometimes they go above and beyond their goal weight.

I would like my blog to reflect that kind of commitment as well. A steady progress - whether in weight loss, or  increase in self worth. With the new year around the corner, this is the perfect chance for a fresh beginning. Slow is ok. I have to remember that.
