I can go for a walk outside because I want to.
If I never lose a pound
I can like who I am,
I can live a beautiful life,
I can be happy.
This sounds so easy in black and white on a screen, but I know living it out is another story. The good news is you don’t need to do it all at once. Do one thing today. Pick a way to live happy today at whatever weight you are.
Will I continue to work on losing weight? Yes, because I know it’s good for me. However, I’m done letting weight define me and the life I live. We get one shot here on this big, beautiful Earth. One shot to be happy, love deeply, and live a beautiful life. Start today.
