Smile ....

I wake up, and I have a smile. I have had a smile on my face for several days now. No matter how tired I am or how worn out, I have gotten I still have this smile upon my face. I have been asked whey are you smiling so much? I am going to share with you now why.


I started changing myself in September. With the support of a wonderful friend who I will never be able to repay for such a marvelous gift, I started to change the person I was. I bought a fitbit. Since then I have been walking an average of 50+ miles a week. I walk after lunch and dinner every day. I use that time to clear my head. I feel like I walk away my issues.


The next thing I did was I changed my diet. Everyone has an opinion on what diet works for them. By eating better I have watched how the weight has just dropped off. I do not go hungry, but I do not eat as much as I once did. I also watch what I eat as well. I cut down on the sugar and the carbs and eat more salads and smaller portions. This blog is not about just my diet mind you; it is about what has happened next.

I started to like the person I was becoming. I felt a self-confidence I never really had. For so long I have been beaten down by work, family and even former friends. I started to find the person that I wanted to be. Once I found that person I have not let him go. I have made new friends, reconnected with ones that I have lost touch with and found a way to cherish the people in my life. I have let a person in to see me at my lowest and help me rebuild myself to the person I am becoming. Never judging, always supportive but will tell it to me like it is.


So as of yesterday I lost 35 pounds. I have bought new clothes, and look better than I ever have. I have friends who truly care about me, and I care about them. I am more confident in myself and my abilities every day. If I ever doubt myself, or I am not sure of who I am or what I should do, I know there is someone there who will reassure me. That will always care for me and be there no matter what challenge I face.


That is why I have been smiling.
