Requisite Follow-up Post
As per usual, after sitting on my last entry and mulling it over and over...
and over, I feel like I have done myself a bit of a disservice.
Also, as per usual, my thoughts on the issue have not changed, but I feel I
left out some things.
As per usual.
What I didn't mention at all in my previous post is that even though I do an
awful lot of bitching, and still see (several) areas that I would like to
improve, over all I am quite impressed with how I look, and how far I have
come. I am not unhappy with my body anymore. I have gained so much
confidence and an extra amount of sassiness (which---if you know me, it's
like having a Sass sandwich with a side of sass for dipping----and maybe
some sasscake ala mode for dessert) and I am extremely greatfull for that. I
also know that the accomplishment I have made, and that the accomplishment
is ALL MINE. I own that, as I should. I am in a really good place right now,
not only with my weight, but in the rest of my life. I am happier than I
probably have ever been. Life is good.
Just the thought of "resting on my laurels", as it were, scares me. Life is
good. My weight is good. My marriage is good, my friendships are good, my
cats are good, my job is good---but they aren't solved. Falling into that
comfortable place and not working towards a positive goal are sure fire ways
to find yourself in a very unhappy place. It is good, even necessary to have
something to work towards, or at least something to work ON. It's that
thought that you could reach that next level that keep you on the straight
and narrow, so to speak.
So Im going to continue to give myself constructive criticism (deep fried in
sass, of course) and be real with myself so I don't end up back in the place
I was a year and a half ago. But I'll be happy as a clam doing it. ;)
Have a wonderful weekend yall!
