One thing

One thing I know for sure:  the scale is only part of the story.

It doesnt matter that I am twenty pounds above goal.

It doesn’t mean I am not beautiful.

It doesn’t mean I am not loved.

It didn’t prevent me from having a wonderful day.

It doesn’t mean I am a success or a failure. 

The scale is only part of the story.

It doesn’t mean everything.

That is all.

Start.

I have been waiting for the perfect time to start.

When I have more money in my grocery budget.  Or when I can do it on a shoe string.

When I am on vacation.  Or when I am not on vacation.

When I have more free time to exercise.   Or when I am on my routine.

When I find the newest diet plan.  Or when I go back to my old standby.

The truth is there is no perfect time.  Living healthy should be a priority no matter the circumstances if life at the moment.   I have to start.  And restart.  As many times as necessary.

There is no perfect time.

Now is the time to start.

Day zero

Day Zero.

It has been a long time coming.

Things that don’t matter:

• I used to weigh 237 lbs
• I felt the lowest of the lows
• I yoyo’d up and down in weight for most of my life
• I hated myself for “getting fat” so then I ” got fatter”
• I lost 90 lbs
• I ran a half marathon
• I felt the highest of highs
• I felt like a winner.
• I “got thinner” but I realized I still hated myself
• I kept on the yo yo.
• I beat myself up with every pound that came back.
• As of today, I gained back over 30 lbs.

None of it matters.  It is Day Zero.  There is no place to go but up!
