I've always considered myself a pessimist, but recently it hasn't been the case. Worry used to always fill my brain with what tomorrow would bring or i'd be lingering on the past, not being able to move forward. Now everything seems different. I feel like i'm going with the flow and enjoying the excitement of not knowing what will happen tomorrow and I tell you what... IT FEELS GREAT!!
Not too long ago I agreed to myself that I was going to attempt to lose weight. I have tried this many times before in the past, but always failed. This time I am determined to become healthier and happier. So far I've managed to lose 11 lbs from cutting out a lot of the rubbish I used to eat. This was the hardest thing I had to do because I would use food to comfort myself... My weakness was chocolate, but since cutting it out I've learnt I really don't need it.
As well as cutting down on the rubbish I ate, I've also been going for walks along the beach and through the woods and I have put this to my advantage because I love taking photos of the beautiful scenery. I've been taking photos throughout my walks and this has really helped motivate myself. That and the fact of seeing the numbers on the scales go down! It feels amazing and it has definitely made me feel happier. I feel how I want to feel. I know I still have a long way to go and make sure I keep to this regime, but considering it's making me feel good... It shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Being happier has made me become a lot more sociable. I've always been one of those people who will avoid going out and will stay indoors all day watching films and playing games, but on new years I made a promise to myself that I was going to get out more (I know this doesn't help being healthy) but I have kept to that promise and I have met some pretty awesome people in the process! As well as seeing old friends... for example, my lovely friend Erin. We usually waited around 3 months until we saw each other next, but recently we have been spending a lot more time together and it's been fantastic! Thank you Erin for being such a great friend!
Anyway, I feel like i'm being too positive now! Haha! All that's left for me to say is that I'm not a quitter. I never have been and I never will be. I believe everything happens for a reason. Fight for that reason!
You never know what the future holds ♥
