Facing My Fears
I have been learning a few things about myself these past few weeks. I’m only a few pounds away from weighting what I did when I got married 4 years ago… I have never been under that weight my whole adult life. I have gone up and then back down to what I am now in the past but I have never been able to get lower then 173lbs… I have always heard people talk about the emotional struggles when it comes to losing weight and the fears of becoming a person no one has ever seen before…. Over the past few weeks I’m realizing that every time in the past when I have gotten to this weight I would give up… I now see that I too have a lot of fears of what my life will be like as a smaller person. How will the world view me? How will I view myself? I don’t have the answers to these questions just yet, but I’m sure that I will feel better about myself then I ever have before. In order to get past my fears I have taken my focus off of the scale, and I’m putting all my energy into following the u-weight loss program. That means eating on program taking my supplements on time and getting in my physical activity. I know that If I do these things I will be at 170 in no time….. This week I’m challenging myself to face my fears head on…. After all I have a little to lose and I lot to gain!
