It’s important to START getting yourself where you want to be.
You may surprise yourself along the way.
Is it fitness? Is it body weight? Your blood glucose levels?
Making a change for the better when it comes to any of them, I know from experience, requires patience and understanding of yourself and what you need.
It requires planning and flexibility. And a fair amount of understanding.
Not to mention it requires determination!
This all sounds like a lot of work and a lot of changes and a lot of work and stress and did I mention a lot of work? Gah; it’s no wonder people would rather spend a gazillion dollars on fix-it-fast “solutions” that sound good but don’t work.
And yes, the work is all worth it.
But did you know, even if you don’t get to a size 4 overnight, that what will happen is that you will start feeling better about yourself almost immediately? As soon as you start to make the changes you need to make, you will see that you ARE working on the goal, and you may start to understand that you WILL achieve it in time.
Baby steps are, after all, still steps. Stumbling and falling and getting back up is still movement toward your goal. Keep at it; keep on keepin’ on, and you can get there.
It’ll be great when you reach your goal, or mini goals along the way, and can then look back at where you are today and say: I’ve accomplished a lot of good things for myself. Good job, Me.
I’m telling you: it’ll be great. So, start today by simply determining what the first few steps are: do you need to clean out your cupboard? Skip some desserts this week? Try a walk each day for ten minutes? Bring your BG meter with you to the office? Sub in some fruits or vegetables instead of boxes or bags?
These are things YOU CAN DO. You don’t need to schedule an appointment, or get a job, or go to school. You just need to START. That’s all!
Go after your happiness; it’s there and it’s waiting for you.
