My Journey

jour·ney

ˈ

noun: an act of traveling from one place to another.

                 Almost a year and a half ago I began a journey to a healthier me.  It began as an effort to lose weight, but has transformed into much more.  It has become a journey of self discovery.  I am learning that weight loss cannot only be measured by the number on the scale.  I am also learning that no matter where I am on the pathway, I must not give up.  The numbers have not moved the way I would like to say they have, but I am still pushing on.

                I have learned a lot about myself in the past year and a half.  I AM STRONG:  I am able to do far more than I ever thought I would be able to.  I AM BRAVE: I have stepped out of my comfort zone and learned new things in the process.  I AM LOVED: I have learned the importance of surrounding myself with a support group who is on their own journey.  I AM NOT ALONE: By being transparent about my journey, I have realized that everyone is on their own journey with battles and you should never feel like you are the only one on the pathway.
