I want to talk about how I may not have shrunk, but proud at how I have grown!

For those of you that don’t know me, I have been a buddyslimmer for along time.  Some life changes have sent me off the BS path but now I am back and more determined than ever to stay!  I was just talking to Kerstin in the Wildcat forums and was telling her about an old blog that I wrote.  While I was looking for it, I read over some of my past blogs.  I guess I didn’t realize how much blogging meant to me.  It has really shown how much I have grown as a person.  The ups and downs of my life are there for everyone to read.  The times where I laughed with you and cried for you.  The times where you hopefully laughed with me.  The trials and tribulations of life, not just weight loss.  I am here to face the fact that when I go to adjust my ticker tomorrow (after several months of not doing so) it is going to show a gain.  Am I proud of that?  Nope.  What I am proud of though is that I am going to put the gain on there and know that I’m not going there again.  And if I do…then so be it.  I have said it before and I will say it again…This is a journey!  There are going to be high roads, low roads, and roads that are as flat for as long as the eye can see.  But not one step goes without change.  I am not the same person I was two years ago.  That change came with putting one foot in front of the other.  So post by post, blog by blog, inch by inch, pound by pound I am going to reach my goal.  I am going to “do whatever needs doing, whenever it needs done whether I feel like it or not.”  And I am going to be proud of myself as I am of each one of you for walking this road with me.

Have a wonderful night buddies!  It’s time for this Cat to get some beauty sleep. :)

    oh I love that blog. well first off for the shout out of course thank you
    but you are so right what a journey it is..
    and we grow from every pound lost and every blog posted and every day lived. now knowing this is a wonderful feeling. usually we won’t realize we have grown till it is over.
    thanks for the reminder that growing inside and shrinking outside is a lifelong journey

    I love this blog as well. I haven’t been blogging as much lately and I have had some gains. I do think it makes a big difference. I really love your positive attitude.

    Good for you! I remember when I had a gain….I didnt want to change the ticker but like you I did and it wasnt so bad. It gave me my new starting place. Everyday we are given a chance to change and have a new day 1!!
