Transformation Tuesday

I was scrolling through Facebook last night when I saw the photo on the left. My first thought was: “That girl kinda looks like me. That’s weird” Then, my next thought was, “Holy Crap! That girl IS me!”  Albeit, a “me” from 15ish years ago. A lifetime really.

I remember taking that picture. I remember feeling like this big, uncomfortable blob of a person next to all of these svelte little things I was spending that weekend with.

Today those feelings are mostly gone. I say mostly because, can you ever really get rid of them? Do you ever fully heal from the trauma that can happen when you’re overweight? I don’t know.

15 years later I’m healthy, happy, and so much more confident. I run, lift weights, bike, and am an all-around active person. Am I still a work in progress? Yes, without a doubt. I think I always will be. Will I keep working on becoming the best possible version of myself?

Absolutely.
