Some days, I struggle.I struggle with eating right, with going outside for a walk, with the clothes that I wear, with what I see in the mirror.
There are times when I can't see a difference. When I look at myself and I don't think I look any different, when my clothes feel like they fit me the same, when I still feel like I'm as big as I used to be. I've been having a difficult time realizing and accepting that my body has changed dramatically.
My goals have changed, my mindset has changed, my body has changed. And yet somehow things feel the same. I know, in my head, that I have transformed. I'm a logical person and I know that my clothes are smaller, my weight is substantially lower, and I'm healthier than I have ever been. But that logic just can't seem to be at the forefront.
I get frustrated if my weight doesn't go down. I feel overweight and blah if I've gained a pound.
So I struggle with what I know in my head and what I feel when I look at my body in the mirror. I need to remind myself of how far I've come and the significant changes I've made. I need to look back at all of the pictures from high school and the years that have gone by and SEE the changes. I need to be motivated to keep going, to push past all the doubt and frustration and insecurity.
They say that small and slow progress is the best kind of progress for long term goals. While I agree with this, it's the small and slow progress that can become frustrating in the day to day.
So yes, some days I struggle. But nothing worth it ever comes easy, right?
