This morning I got most of the morning jobs done in the office before I took the time to read through the blogs written last night while I was out cold.

I had a mini revelation whilst reading the blogs. Weightloss isn’t just about taking pounds off you and making yourself look skinnier and more like “the norm” (whatever that is now). Weightloss is a journey where-by you change youself from the inside out. That last sentence really gets me thinking about how am I changing. What subtle changes have I made to my life since I started this 3 months ago?

When I started out with Buddyslim, I have to say I was taken aback by all the then strangers being so supportive, so forgiving, so understanding.. always there to pick me up when I stumbled and to help me through the really tough times.

I started out here with one goal in mind…. lose weight. Alot of weight. Since then, my goals have changed, as have I. Three months ago I was an empty shell. I was merely surviving day after day, and doing nothing with myself. My life just seemed pointless. I felt useless. Blogging and the support here has changed me.

Now I get up every morning with a purpose. I set daily goals to achieve, and I give myself a little pat on the back everytime I complete one. I feel better about myself, about my past, even about my Mom. I’m happier, more confident and more….. content with myself. I’m learning to accept the person I am, and to acknowledge the changes that are happening to me.

Thanks to all my buddies, and this site, I’m slowly changing from the inside out. I think I’m ready to love my life to it’s full potential now, and to be thankful for every day that’s been given to me.
