Why do I keep letting things get away from me?
I came to the conclusion the other day that I need to get over myself and get on with my life and become who I want. 4 years ago I was thin, 160 pounds. I was still unhealthy due to smoking and increasily frequent bouts of bronchitis that would eventually nearly kill me. I knew I had to quit smoking because the effects on my health were not worth it. I quit and FINALLY I could breathe and start living. One of the proudest things I did was push a stroller all over the zoo for an entire day without getting winded. I was thrilled I could do that and feel good while doing it. Then the pounds started to pack on and I became complacent, a state of mind that I’ve remained okay with until this week. I realized that much like the smoking my weight has been holding me back from living. I’m still unhealthy and only I can change that. Guess what? I’m ready so bring it on.
