I lost!!

Yay!!!! I know it doesn't sound real good when I say I lost, but I lost 700g this week, which is great because it means I am that little bit closer to goal - even though goal is still over 35kgs away, I am just a tiny bit closer and that makes me happy.

It reinforces the belief I have in ME and that I can and will succeed on my journey. I am starting to appreciate that this journey has been a long and slow one because I don't think I would have learned as much as I have if I had of gotten to goal really quickly.

This time round I have learned that my head space is very important. It is important that I have the time to prepare myself mentally for the challenges that I will come up against and now I know that I can beat them. I think one of the most important things I have learned on my journey so far is that if I DON'T believe in me - I will not succeed. I have to believe that I have the strength to finish my journey and the best news of all is that I DO BELIEVE IT.

I have learned that it doesn't matter how long it takes to get where I am going and that it's not a race, I mean who am I racing???? Or rather, who was I racing? I know now that the big picture is not just the end, it's how I got there and what I have learned along the way that will keep me at goal when I reach it.
