I was staring at my weight loss spreadsheet, as I often do, when it struck me. At the most (fingers crossed), I'll only be fat for another YEAR! Think about it for a second - I've been fat since, well, probably freshman year of college. So 2010 minus 1993, oh about 17 years.
And to think, I only have one more year of being fat!
It puts this whole weight loss journey into perspective for me. Instead of feeling like it's taking so long, flipping it around like that makes it feel like it's going so much quicker. Only another year! 365 days. That's really not so bad.
Not much else going on. I think we are going to hit a local splash pad this afternoon. It's still in the low 90s here. While I sometimes long for cooler temps, I am also enjoying still being able to use our pool and do things like go to the splash pad. We were actually going to head to the beach today, but stupid hurricanes kinda messed that up. However, the splash pad is closer and the kids will enjoy it just as much, so Plan B ain't so bad.
Also gotta hit the grocery store - we are out of milk, juice, bread, and bananas. Not good when you have two toddlers in the house! And I really should get in my third run for the week yet today. Guess it's going to be a busy one after all, so I guess I should say TOODLES!
Its kind of raining/overcast here on the east coast-(Daytona at least) so its just as well your not coming to the beach! Enjoy the day with your family. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of that year too is that you're going to get to spend it moving toward your goal and feeling fantastic with every milestone you ready! The last year of this loss phase was such a good one for me, and I hope the same will be true for yours! Am coming up on my 2nd Bandiversary in October.
ReplyDelete365 days is really just not that long. I haven't had my band long enough yet to have the confidence yet to guess how much longer I'll have, but a year seem reasonable and just not that bad. One day at a time and it'll be here before you know it.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said Ames...I'm with you wholeheartedly.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!!! Since we are at about the same size right now I totally feel ya! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWeee! This is great!! and gosh - a year flies!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective - I'll have to remember that when I'm feeling down about stalling!
ReplyDeleteI think about that all the time... by next Christmas I could be wearing one of those Sexy Santa's helpers costume... What a difference a year makes. *maria*
ReplyDeleteI like your view on the journey, I never thought of it that way before. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fantastic when you can see the light at the end of the metaphorical fat-tunnel? That's wonderful that you can see it all coming to an end, and a whole new beginning starting for you!
