The weather was lovely today even though the day itself was stressful. There are lots of reasons why it was stressful – but this post isn’t about my problems. This post is about my need to push through the problems, and especially when things get difficult. If I  push myself beyond what I think I’m capable of to… what is necessary I will be stronger than I was before. Think about it, what challenging thing have you done lately? How did you feel afterward?  Did you feel lucky? Did you feel accomplished? Did you feel relieved?  There is no wrong answer, only a true answer.

I had a big celebration despite my stressful day. Now is the time where the fireworks would start up and the marching band would play. MY MOM’S RING FITS! I never thought that would happen to me. I thought I was predestined to getting it resized.  But today is the day that changed. It just goes to show that change takes a bit of time to happen. Change is slow, and there is no telling when it will finally catch up with you.

How was your day? Was it stressful like mine? Did you have any happy surprises like I did? I am learning that this journey is more than a good day/ bad day kind of thing. It’s about reflection and growth to respond to whatever comes my way. My wish for you is, no matter what kind of day you’re having, that you make some time for self-care. Weight loss can be difficult at times, so let’s do this together. Thank you for reading.
