Celebrating Success

In celebration of pulling on a pair of size 18 jeans this afternoon, I thought I would post a little ‘before’ and ‘after’ picture. Look familiar?

I’ve been wanting to ‘recreate’ that dreaded photo for some time now, but decided against it. Why? Part of me didn’t want to ‘jinx’ my progress and part of me wanted to wait until the results were ‘undeniable’. It all goes back to that ‘dream state’ I sometimes find myself in. I realized this weekend that there is no jinxing this journey. It’s real. Very, very real. I still have a way to go, but I am very happy with my progress.

Find the courage to stick with your journey. Push yourself everyday. Encourage yourself to make positive choices. And most of all, stay present.
