It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.

Last night I came to realize that last week was the anniversary of this little blog's creation. One year: wow, what more can I say? It certainly doesn't seem like a long time now, but a lot has happened, a lot has changed, and, most of all, I have changed. I have grown while trying to forget, forgive, move on and figure out what path I should choose to follow on my journey through life.

In a year, I've gone from 64.5 kg (142.3 lbs) to, as of today, 52 kg (114.64 lbs), which brings me to the grand total of 12.5 kg (27.56 lbs) of weight loss. According to my future goals I set at that time, the "far future" (when I wanted to get down to 52-55 kg= 115-120 lbs) was, in fact, one year. I'm craving more, and yet I'm so proud of myself for being so strong. I've had a lot of bad days, but the expectation and determination always kept me from drowning and, in the end, the good days kept me going.

Anything is possible, my loves. I know I'll stick around for a little longer, and hope to bring you at least some optimism, sunshine and hope into your days. The most important thing is to keep going and to never ever forget how beautiful you are, no matter what others say.

Nothing would have happened without you, sweethearts.
Thank you.

He still loves me.

I love you, my sweet little butterflies.
Hope you have the most wonderful Monday.

  3. I think change is a good thing! As we get older, try new things, and learn along the way, we are bound to change. Congrats on losing almost 30 lbs! That is awesome! You were able to meet your "future" goals afterall! Even though you had the bad days, you kept going- never stopping- and the good days far outweighed the bad. You are an encourgament- if you can reach your goals, that shows me that I can too :)
