Happy New Year everyone! I decided to do a separate post to acknowledge 2010. It's especially significant because it was this time last year (January 5th, 2009) that I started weight watchers. At the time I wasn't sure that I would stay on the plan for more than a month, but here I am, down 52.5 pounds with just 20 left to go!
I'm always really hard on myself. I was thinking about 2009 and I thought something along the lines of "glad that's over" when I realized that I actually achieved a lot in 2009. But I tend to focus on my flaws and failings instead of my achievements, so I wasn't even seeing them. I decided to make a list of my achievements in 2009:
In 2009, I:
- Lost 53.4 lbs
- Graduated with a Master's Degree
- Started on a career path
- Rescued a stray kitty, who makes me happy every day
- Got out of a relationship that was going nowhere
- Met a new guy :)
That's actually quite a lot! Better than most years, I might say. I don't ever make new year's resolutions anymore, but this year I thought I might try it again:
In 2010, I resolve to look at myself more positively, acknowledge my achievements, appreciate my good qualities, and stop underestimating myself! It's about time!
hey just wondering where you went. how are you doing these days?
ReplyDeleteHello, I'm still alive... just got majorly distracted by some changes in my life. Unfortunately I gained 8 lbs back, but I'm trying really hard to get back on track. I'm going to start blogging again - it helps me make weight loss a key focus. Thanks for checking!
