Lately, I have been thinking about my life. The events that have occured that have affected me both in positive and negative ways and most importantly the events that have helped to create my current situation and feelings. Carrie Bradshaw once wondered: When it comes to life and love, why do we believe our worst reviews?
It seems obvious to me that in order to get my life back on track I must empower myself! I must regain my strengths, love myself and believe in myself so that I can move on from everything that has kept me from reaching my potential and corroded my self love. I have to believe the good things I do know about myself and let go of my mistakes and other people's judgements of who they think I am. I must learn from my past but by no means allow it to withhold me from my future! I have to come to terms with different things and today I am making a pledge to tackle those things one by one and heal.
Its always easier to look in the mirror and see the outside staring back at us...and I have let myself go. I think my weight gain is a reflection of the turmoils inside of me...of the comforts I have seeked outside for the drowning helplessness I have felt inside. I know that loosing the weight is the most obvious first step in this journey and I also know, that restraining from my food comforts in order to reach that goal will most likely reveal other more important issues that most be dealt with. It will be an interesting journey...but I believe in myself and I trust that in the end this process will be worthwhile and empowering! :)
