Only You.....

It's been one year. Exactly a year ago today I decided to finally wake up and escape from the shell I was trapped in. It's a bit more difficult than it sounds.... because some of us attempt this every single day our entire lives. However we do not realize that the only person that can convince you to wake up and make this change is YOU. For some of you, you may have been dealing with this your entire lives. Others may say improving your outter appearance is not important. This is where you are wrong my friend, you are not improving your outter appearance for anyone else, if you decide you are ready you are making this change for YOURSELF. February 5th, 2012 I woke up and decided that I would work hard, very hard to finally feel great not only physically but mentally. 62 pounds lost, and a new motto for achieving and overcoming any obstacle. Last Year I could not even jog, today I can run a few miles. It takes the small steps to get to where I've come today. It took firstly WILL POWER and secondly PATIENCE to reach my goal weight. Some people want to see fast results and when they dont they give up, its the small steps that lead us to the finish line. I was losing 1-2 pounds a week and sometimes 3 pounds a week, but I patiently kept going and going and will continue to work hard because it's not just about getting to your goal weight and size. It's about finally creating a healthy lifestyle for yourself that you can continue for the rest of your life.....but remember only YOU can decide when your ready.
