Day 24 - Welcome October & Thankful Thursday
Another October is here & I am thankful that I am going into this October with my new found lifestyle...
I am thankful for:
- My choice to embark on this journey.
- My leap of faith.
- The courage I have found & kept for 24 days.
- My willpower.
- The friends I've met here on Dietbet that have challenged me, encouraged & supported me to be a better person.
- Water thats kept me hydrated.
- My pooch that keeps me company on my walks.
- My patience in this process.
- My determination.
- Mt attitude.
- My commitment.
There are probably so many other things but I cannot list them all. I am just overwhelmed that this has been such a wonderful ride.
23 days ago, I said...what do I have to lose (besides the obvious weight)...well, the question should have been...what will I gain (and not weight...lol)...
The "what I have gained's" far surpass anything I could have imagined. Some of you that read this will never understand this & I truly don't expect that you will, but when you live most of your life hiding & not having the courage to truly be you, to be comfortable with yourself - you end up fighting a lost cause...to come to realize & know that you are worth every effort, makes you kinda go...ah, hey dummy, what took you so long??
May each of you have your “ah, hey dummy” moment. Take it, run with it & enjoy it for as long as it lasts because if it gives you the feeling that I have had for 23 days - you won't want to give it back. Pay if forward...
LAUGH, LOVE & SMILE...the rest will take of itself...BE KIND to YOURSELF & OTHERS!
