Magnificent Work In Progress

My official weigh in for 2015

and I'm starting the year out

weighing MORE than I did last year

343 is a big number

I will say that...

....I'm thankful that this is not my all time high

At least I can say I've seen worse... 

but it is still such a disappointment,

but I made mistakes, 

mistakes that have taught me invaluable lessons

and so I move on

but the journey seems almost impossible

I don't know how many people can relate

but when you're overweight

and especially as overweight as I am

and you're looking at your predicted destination

and you realize how far you have to go

it just seems like

the mountain is too high

the valley is too low

the river is too wide

the ocean is too deep....

okay, I think you get it!

What we forget to realize is that there is

the actual journey

I mean, the whole point of actually doing a road trip

is all the cool spots you get to hit along the way, right?

No one goes from California to New York

without stopping along the way 

There are so many cool things to see along the way

the journey with losing weight is the same

I'm not going to lose 50 lbs

and still be depressed

that I'm not yet in New York.... 

hehe

I'm a work in progress

a MAGNIFICENT work in progress

I get to learn so many things in the next year or two

there will be so many stops along the journey that I will get to enjoy

there will be new people I will met 

and I will wonder how I ever lived without them

there will be memories that will be made 

that will create so much joy in my life

there will be moments

that will mold and shape me

and I will become a different person

not because the number on the scale is different

but because of the journey!
