I woke up this morning with a new, strange thought in my mind.
For a year and four months now, all I’ve focused on has been losing weight. Yeah I did my schoolwork, joined my sorority exec board, goofed off with my friends, and all that… but I’ve had a goal, and it’s been to get down to 160 (then 150) pounds. And now, for the last six months, I’ve been stuck around the same 10 pounds, hoping that any day now I’d break through that last barrier. The SELF diet and exercise plan has been helping me do that, and at first I could have cried with relief. Finally, something was working!
Now, though I am still following the plan, I see that it is not my primary goal any more. I’m kind of scared to say that — I’ve focused so hard, worked so hard, and for what? To not meet my original goal? But it’s not like that. I’m just ready to focus on something else, to give something else my all.
I’m content with my body, for the most part. If I lose more weight, that’s great. I am more concerned with transitioning to non-processed, better for me food and keeping up with my exercise, which is why Jump Start is great — as so many diets tout (and this one actually delivers), it is a lifestyle change.
But the question is… what now? While I think about it, here’s a cheesy “pensive” picture for you all.
