Small Losses = Huge Gains

The truth is that all things that begin with a minus in front of them are usually associated with negative things. In school a minus sign usually indicated that you were on the verge of dropping a letter grade. In finance that minus is an indicator of money lost or spent. (This seems to happen more as you grow up. Yay bills!) But on the scale, and especially when trying to get healthy after years of abuse, that minus sign means that you are doing something right.

This past week I had a lot of challenges, celebrations, and kind of a stressful work week. And through it all, I still managed to lose a little under 3 lbs. This brings me to 27 lbs of weight loss during the time I have been on this program. I am not stuck on the fact that it is less weight loss than I have had in weeks past, but that I now weigh less than I have in weeks past. I am owning this battle, I am fighting and grinding out results. I am not a slave to a diet, or some guy that is so stuck on the big picture that I am not able to see that small victories. This week was a success, I lost more weight, and will continue to succeed as long as I remember that I am going to take down this wall brick by brick, until I am able to fully see me.

Sorry, this was short and sweet, but honestly I just don't know what else to say. Keep sweating, and keep searching, deep inside is the healthy you waiting to get out people.
