I'm Moving to Ohio!!!
Wow, I can't believe it! I'm actually moving to Ohio! I finally made the decision to move a few days ago. Why Ohio you ask? Because my BFF lives in Ohio. Of course I'm not moving just to be near my BFF. Here's the skinny:
I've lived in Georgia my whole life (that's almost 29 years as of April 12). I've always had a desire to move out of Georgia to try something new, have a new experience. Don't get me wrong...I love Georgia and it will always be my home. I will probably wind up back in Georgia eventually. But now I am at a place where I'm not tied down to anything. I'm not married, I don't have a boyfriend, and I will be done with school in August. I've prayed and thought long and hard about this decision. I've gone back and forth. I've let my fears rule my emotions and thoughts. But no more! Is it going to be scary moving from the only place I've ever known? HELL YEAH! But, I know this will be a good opportunity for me.
I write these thoughts here on extrapounds for the privacy. If I posted something on FB then EVERYONE would be sending me comments, and I'm just not ready for that yet. I want to tell the people I care about one-on-one and I've not been able to tell everyone yet. I don't want them to find out about such a major decision via FB. But as I'm sitting here working on a school project, I got this overwhelming urge to share the news. I'm excited and that let's me know this is a good thing, a very good thing.
How does this move relate to my weight loss journey? Well, my BFF is also on extrapounds. Her and I both struggle with weight and we try to motivate each other, but living so far away is difficult. So, when I move up to Ohio we'll be able to be each other's workout buddies, motivate each other, and take turns cooking and making wise decisions.
So, I'm excited about the possibilities. I'm a little scared about the job factor, but I know God's got this under control. Can't wait until September!!!
