Perception Over Deception

I have struggled (a lot) with believing that what I am doing is actually making changes in my body. After seeing a photo comparison of me taken in April and July I realized something.



Though I feel better (mentally and physically) my view on my physical image seems to skewed! I know that with weight loss it does not happen over night as that weight was not gained over night however (and I don't believe I'm alone when I say this) I sometimes become so discouraged when I haven't reached a certain number, target, visual I have set for myself in my head. I become so focused on the final destination than truly absorbing this journey of health I have embarked on. 

As each day comes I am filled with more and more information that has actually helped me put this into perspective. That you are beautiful regardless of size, shape, and physical form. I used to think I needed to look a certain way in order to be happy but along the way as I am making better decisions for my well being I felt much happier. With that in mind I noticed I am feeling better and better each day. 

My stress levels are low, I am sleeping better and ultimately making what I feel is best for my short and long term goals regardless of what those around me say. Taking charge of my life and regardless
Of how long my journey takes, as long as I am feeling great along the way, I have passed the destination a long time ago.

I've heard that comparison is the roberry of joy so know that regardless of where you are and where someone else is in the pursuit of your goals, dreams and health inspirations you are not alone and everyone wants to see you succeed! 

Don't give up!
