Day 1: My Awakening

For a while now I have been looking deep into my mirror.  Looking so deep that I wonder where in the world I actually went.  I've lost myself.  I've lost myself behind my vast weight gain in the last three years.  I've lost site of my relationship with God.  I've lost site of what it means to love myself.

So this is my great leap of faith!  I am admitting not only to myself, but to the world how lost I have become.  I don't want or need pity.  Advice, inspiration along the way is always welcome.  My goal, which will take time - so hold in there with me, is create a life that is wholly healthy.  This means I am focusing on my entire being.  The steps I take will be small at first.  I'm not trying to change who I am, but I am trying to live my life in a way that is healthy and at peace with itself.


So, day one, I have admitted that I have a problem.  I have accepted my task.  I have identified one broad goal.  I have a lot of work ahead of me, but failure is not an option.  (Although setbacks along the way may happen, and that's OK.)


I'd say wish me luck, but luck will have nothing to do with it.  So for now, I wish for you to have a good night.
