Day 1 on The Yellow Brick Road - Why?
For me, the question is not " Why am I dieting?". The question is "Why is this diet going to be diferent?". After all the different plans, gym memberships, dietary suppliments, and false hopes I have had over my long drawn out journy, why?
My entire life I have never been able to see anything through to the end! Every book, project, idea and diet half assed.
I am making this blog to remind myself, when motivation has lost to the power of temptation and i am on the edge of giving up, the way I felt the first time I lost 40 lbs! or how it feels to sit next to my bestfriend at a bar and feel invisible when the guys walk by. or how it feels to never be truely comfertable with myself in public. or how frustrated I get when I want to look cute and not a single damned store can supply clothes of my size....And, the worst of all, how giant I feel in the arms of the one I love.
When I think of the long road that lies ahead of me, I think of The Wizard of Oz. How Dorethy was lost in a world that was confusing to her and set out on a long colorful journy to get back to where she belonged. A journy that presented its fare share of challenges but also opened her mind up to new possibilities and perspectives. It is this reason that I have declared The Wizard Of Oz to be my theme and motivational icon for this adventure.
This Yellow Brick Road leading me to my Emerald City is a one way street and I'm never looking back again!
