I've been thinking about this weight loss journey over the last couple of days. As disappointed as I've been with myself for gaining the weight in the first place, I think it's made me more grateful and thankful for what I have.
I remember when I weighed 155lbs, I constantly complained about my body. I didn't know how good I had it! Now, that I'm fighting my way back from 261, with each pound lost, I'm learning to be grateful and thankful for each new low. I think this journey has taught me a lot and while not easy, I'm thankful for the lesson and the new outlook on life.
Now, I'm not saying that I'm happy I gained all the weight and have to work hard to get rid of it. But, I see the silver lining and appreciate the lessons that come with hard work and a new perspective. I feel like I've grown as a person through this journey.
I don't know if this makes any sense, but I thought I'd share anyway.
