Our Own Worst Enemies

We can be our own worst enemies.

We can be our worst critic.

We can analyze and criticize everything we do.

We can analyze and criticize everything we DON'T do.

I'll be the first to admit my "type A" personality.

I specialize in criticizing and analyzing my activities or inactivity in the past.

I dwell on my mistakes and unfortunate things that happen that I don't even have control over.

In the past I ate to suppress feelings of

failure

sadness

loneliness

stress.

I have to confess that I've contemplated giving up altogether on this journey.

This sounds ridiculous now that I'm typing it, but it's true.

All because of a "zero loss."

That's not very intelligent on my part.

I've gone this far only to turn back.

I can't. I won't.

This fight has only begun.

Today I promise to love myself more.

I will eat to fuel my body, so that it can perform at its best- the way it was meant to perform.

I will run because I love to.

I will open my eyes and see how far I have come.

I will open my eyes and look to the future.

A future full of

happiness

and

health.

If you've been down and feeling like me,

make this promise with me.

Love yourself a little more each day.

Today I am thankful for this journey and how far I have come.
