Change is never Easy

You know when you need to change. Whether or not you're willing to admit it, is what makes change a possibility or not. Tomorrow I am taking a new path and setting out to change what needs to be changed in me. I'm not excited and I am not looking forward to it! It's not that I fear change, but I have set out so many times and fallen flat on my face. So I say to myself "What makes me think that this time will be different?" And to that, I have no answer.
Those of you who know me, know that my weight has been up and down. I am definitely willing to admit that, but changing it is hard. It's not just about the physicality of it. There is something on the inside that is hindering me. I was angry for some time because I hurt my knee and I couldn't run anymore. After that things just went downhill. I was angry and frustrated. I was stressed and felt like my weight loss goals had halted. I let that circumstance get me down and I tripped myself up. I realize that stress fuels my weight gain. Slight anxiety attacks shut me down and that frustration builds up in me. Now that I can see that, I can fight it.

I am sharing this with you because I know that I am not the only one who has gone through this. I know that I am not the only one that struggles with internal hang ups.

I debated for a long time whether or not to share this with you, because now I am out in the open. I can't turn back. If I fail, then everyone will know. This is scary, yes, but I am not the only person who has ever failed at something! At least I can gain tips and tricks if I share with people, rather than suffer in silence.

So with that I ask that any tips you can pass along, please do. What worked for you and what didn't? Have you been there? Do you want to start this journey with me?

I will keep you posted and let you in on what I'm doing, that way if something works for me you can get in on it!

Thanks and wish me luck!
