On this day – July 22, 2010 – I plan on making this the best year of my life. I am fed up with sabotaging myself. I am fed up with “me” being the only person standing in my way. I am only 25 years old, and my health is going to deterioriate just because I won’t stop putting food in my mouth? Heck no! I am sick and tired of feeling the way I do about myself, and I am the only one who can change that! The last time I was happy with my body was July of 2006. Four years have passed, and for at least 2-3 of those four years, I have been completely unhappy with my body. I want 2010 (or what is left of it) to be the healthiest year of my life. I want my 25th year to be the year that I get serious about weight loss, and become happy with my shape. I’ve read countless stories of people who turned their lives around, and found a way to lose weight and be healthy. I want that to be me. That is why I have this blog; to one day look back and go “wow, I did that – I overcame”. I also want to inspire all of you out there who are like me (say that you want to lose weight and be healthy, but constantly stand in your own way) to overcome yourself. To overcome all of the demons in your head that tell you that it’s okay to eat an entire Key Lime pie. To overcome all of the demons in your head that tell you ”it’s okay, you can start dieting tomorrow”. I have those demons in my head, and as of today, I will no longer listen to them.
From this day forward, I am going to make my 25th year the best of my life. What about you? What’s stopping you from making this the best year of your life? You can overcome it. If I can overcome myself (and I’m a piece of work, let me tell you), then certainly anyone out there reading this blog can too.
Let’s raise our glasses to overcoming ourselves!
