It's a new year. Fresh start for everyone. What will we make of this new year?
While I love goal setting and fresh starts, I also don't want to put to much pressure on myself either. Consistency is very important but it is also a learning curve if you have never done it before. The biggest lesson I am going to bring with me this year is that even if I mess up, it doesn't mean I should just throw in the towel and keep going down the bad slope. Instead, I need to just make my next move a good, smart one.
I am prone to just giving up if I make a bad food choice. If I ruin my diet, I just throw in the towel and binge. Sometimes I will start over the next day and other times I just give up for a while until I get sick of myself again. This year I really want to focus on my nutrition; among many other things. I really don't like the way I look and feel, along with many other people. The only way to improve this is to move more and eat less. It's simple. I know the answer. I just need to actually implement it. I am publicly saying it here for accountability and maybe, just maybe, I will inspire someone else to join me.
The number on the scale does make me feel a certain way even though many say it shouldn't. But I am also at a point where the number really doesn't matter too much as long as it goes down and don't feel like I do right now. This is growth for me. Writing about it helps more than I thought. I really do think writing is therapeutic and more people should try it. If even for your own self to come to realizations about the way you feel about things. Sometimes, like right now, I will write and I don't even know what I am about to write and then something profound comes out and it makes me think about things differently.
Whatever it is that you plan on to work on this year, do your best to do it every single day. If you do, you are guaranteed success.
Good luck!
Happy 2023!
