What I have learned 7 months out...

I'm shocked and awed by how fast 7 months have gone by....

What have I learned since beginning this journey? So much, so much..

I've learned that I remember who I was pre-weight gain: a dynamic woman, full of life, with an opinion that matters, who can take anything on and succeed.

I have learned that it is OK to ask for and accept help and guidance.

I have learned that the weight loss also sheds unwanted baggage.

I have learned that failure is not an option.

I have learned, once again, to not only love myself, but to allow others to love me.

I have learned that sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees and often times you need a guide.

I have learned that whatever is worth having is worth fighting--HARD--to get.

I have learned that letting go of the past is easier when someone holds your hand and walks through and away from it with you.

I have learned, simply, to be true to myself and to those I love.

I have learned that good things can happen at any time- on any day. I've learned to be partial to Tuesdays

Finally, I have learned to be Lisa and to be the best version of myself, with the person I love, my children and my God.

Love your attitude, Lisa. Be sure to print out your post and save it for a rainy day. Your own advice will be your inspiration. They are things we all need to tell ourselves every day.
