New Discoveries

I have discovered a lot of things about myself since starting to live a healthier lifestyle. 1) I was in way worse shape then I thought I was. I'd lived so long thinking that I really wasn't that bad off, but since starting to lose weight and trying to incorporate more movement into my day, well....I'm in crappy shape! 2) I like to be in control. Before I had set my mind to losing weight, I would resist any and all help in getting started. Family and friends would offer advice and I'd take it with a grain of salt. "Sure", I'd say, "I'll try this diet" only to let it go out of my head the minute they left. Now that I'm in the right frame of mind though, I've found that I still have to be in control of everything. 3) I'm lazy. Yep, I'm still pretty darn lazy. I notice it the most when I KNOW I've got to get up and get going, but just can't make myself get up off the couch. Or away from the computer. Like now:) 4) My feelings are easily hurt. I knew this before, but never realized how much I let things get to me until now. I guess writing everything down has helped me realize that. 5) I can succeed. I never thought I was good at anything before, couldn't play sports, couldn't make art, never did well on a diet. But, now that I have been successful in this dieting endeavour, I realize that I can succeed when I put my mind to it. Discoveries. It's nice to discover things about yourself:)
