One Year Later
Well, here I am one year later, almost to the day. It was this time a year ago when I joined this site, made the decision to make a true effort at losing weight, started the South Beach Diet, and lost 15 pounds over the summer. Overall, it’s been a good year. I’ve maintained most of my weight loss, although this summer I am out to lose 10 more pounds. I ran my first 5k ever, and although I regained some weight and haven’t been to the gym in three weeks at this point, I still feel like the past year has been overwhelmingly positive in terms of goal setting and meeting, and living a healthy, positive lifestyle. So, all in all, I would say I’ve been successful.
So here I am again, a year later, restarting SBD and ready to re-evaluate, restart, and reconnect to my thoughts about this process. I probably won’t blog everyday, because I don’t feel the need to. I got a lot of my shit out over the last year, all the nasty self-damaging beliefs I had been harboring for a good portion of my life. Am I fixed? No. Do I still have days where I feel bad about myself- HELL YEAH! But, I feel like I am dealing with my demons regarding my weight, and I am learning to accept myself as I am, not as I dream myself to be. And I don’t mean accept that this the weight I am and I can’t affect it, but that I need to accept myself in the now, and focus on all the good, rather than all the bad, which I had done for so long. So here’s to year two- looking forward to further successes!
