In for the Long Game (my weight loss update)
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” ~Confusius
Several weeks ago I posted unhappily about how I was my highest weight in 10 years.
Admitting something like that is not easy for me – I don’t like showing up on social media not looking like my most fit self. I don’t like being unhappy and uncomfortable in my skin. I don’t like finding myself standing inside my pantry stuffing my face with crackers and chips.
I am sharing this with you all because I know it’s important to be real and share my journey. I lost 20+ pounds 10 years ago. Also, I tend to see the scale go up a little each winter and then come down again in the spring. I know that when I put my mind to it, I can find my best healthiest and fittest self. Having done it before gives me confidence that I can do it again.
BUT I know YOU are not necessarily confident about embarking on this journey. It takes patience to play the long game – and you’ll hit multiple walls, you might obsess about the scale, you might lose hope and binge and you might just want to quit.
Today am 6 lbs down from my 2020 peak weight. I’ve lost about a 1 pound a week. I am barely halfway to my goal and I know that my goal is likely smaller than yours. My progress may feel slow to you but, I assure you, this is how it gets done. I am in this for the LONG GAME.
How about you? Is there a BIG, SCARY, LONG TERM goal that you want to reach? Have you started yet?
