no comparison

i keep trying to remind myself not to compare my w.loss journey to that of others. but it's really hard to do. on the boards i just read a woman who said she lost 20lbs in the month that she's been on WW. i've lost like 7ish. so it's hard to NOT compare....

this journey isn't about anyone else. i started it because i was unhappy with what i saw when i looked in the mirror. & i just want to be happier & healthier. and i'm so very proud of all of the small changes that i've made in the past 3 1/2 weeks. i know that one day i will truly begin to see the physical changes.

But anyway, I was rlly proud of myself yesterday. I didn't walk home from work because i wasn't wearing tennis shoes, i had these flat joints on. So as soon as i got in the house, instead of putting on my pj's and climbing into bed, i put on some tights & a hoodie. laced up the sneaks. turned the ipod on & started walking. i did an entire hour yesterday!!! that was about 6 or 7 laps around my neighborhood. & according to WW & most health websites. an hour of walking @ a nice pace is about 3miles. But i'll underestimate & just say that it was 2ish ;)I think it definitely made up for not doing anything the day before. So i'm hoping the weather is still nice after work today (i know they're calling for rain for the next few days) because i can't WAIT to get out there & do it again. (i think my knee cld use a break tho lol)

excuse me while I positive self-talk to myself real quick:
so Monique just STOP IT! Stop comparing yourself to others. your journey is your own. it is making you a stronger & wiser person. You WILL achieve each and every weight loss goal that you set for yourself, even if it takes you the rest of your life to do it. It will be done! Keep pressing forward. I love you and YOU ARE MORE THAN WORTH IT!!
