Sitting On It Won't Make It Smaller

For two weeks now I have been preparing myself for the changes that need to be made in my life. In the past I have posted pictures on the wall of how I used to look as a 'goal', if you will. This time is different. This time, it's not only about how I look or want to look. I've found with the 'guilt' approach I tend to beat myself up about how I got to the physical place I am in. Frankly, I'm tired of beating myself up to the point of creating unnecessary discouragement. I know what I want to look like, but more importantly, I know how I want to feel.

Today I'm am not documenting what I look like with before pictures of my body, I'm going to create with words a 'before picture' of how I feel. Feelings for me are much harder to remember than picking up a stack of photos from my 20s. So here is how this 'Before Girl' feels today, the day before she makes the physical changes that will change her life.

Tired
Sluggish
Disappointed
Uncomfortable
Lazy
Dissatisfied
Unhappy
and
Determined

With God, all things are possible! I hope you will join me on this journey to a healthier, more energetic person.
