Hello everyone, and happy New Year’s!
Well, today is January 1, 2025, and like many of you, I am here to say it starts today. I’ve been here many times in the past, telling myself it starts today, no more junk food, exercise every day, have willpower, you can’t fail. Well, I failed many times over. So what’s different about today…
I am 45, turning 46 in March, and in 2024 I did reflect quite a bit on my life. I started to realize that the majority of my life has gone by without me actually living it. Which was entirely my fault. I was so focused on everything else and not myself that I let everything get out of control when all I was trying to do was control everything.
so it does start today, January 1, 2025. I have made a plan to limit junk food , to exercise, to find will power, and try to find solutions and not excuses. I am not going to hold myself to the highest standard that failure makes me lose control. This is not about losing weight, the number of the scale or the size of my clothes. This is about a healing journey. I don’t know why it feels different, it just does, and I’m glad I’m here.
It may take me a long time to win this battle, but just think where I will be in six months time if I don’t quit.
I wish everyone well and good luck and we’re in it together. You got this!
Happy New Year’s.
