All things worth having....

I have started on a journey. A journey that will lead to more than just permanent weight loss. I am traveling to improve the quality of my life...maybe even save it at the rate I am going. As I lament the fact that I must endure yet another 5 months in stasis as I complete the required 6 month managed diet prior to insurance approval, I find that I maybe accepting the premise that this too is part of my process. Anything truly worthwhile is worth the effort, the organization, the planning, and yes.. even the waiting.

I lost myself and then covered myself up with extra weight again. It is not the first time, but it is going to be the last. I am going to find me under all of this weight.. my shield...my self punishment... and when I do....the weight will truly be lifted from inside and out and I will never be here again.

Here is to the process.....

Good for you for finding your strength to see through the veil of self denial. I too covered myself up and will never do it again. I look forward to reading more of your journey.
