This was my first step toward living a healthier life. When I decided that I loved myself just the way I was, even though I weighed 235 pounds, I started treating my body with more respect. Now that I’m at a healthier weight, I realize that loving myself was the first step on that journey.

My weight watcher start weight was 234.8 I had lost some a few weeks before that. I think a rise in my self image had been helping me. I always gained the weight when I goaled after a few weeks. This time I realized that the journey doesn’t end at goal. The jorney doesn’t end with liking myself. Sometimes I just don’t like myself.

I remember the day that I decided to love myself at 263 pounds and promised myself no more dieting.This was years ago but I remember sitting on my bed, saying the words and needing a sandwich to support the decision.
At my goal weight, I still use food to support myself more than I use it to stop hunger.
The journey does not end at weight goal but a new passage opens. Enjoy the journey and learn from your falls, so that you are well equipped for the next path in your life.
