This morning, I woke up early and worked out at the gym. I spent a fortune on a membership about a month ago, and the dollar figure alone is a motivator to overcome my desire to hibernate.
As I was working out, I realise the happiest I've been in my adult life was when I allowed myself to focus on me. At one point in time, I lost about 65-70 lbs and felt great. I wasn't super-skinny, but I was healthy. I felt strong and confident.
I want to regain that feeling. Perhaps if I could lose some of the weight gained while I was pregnant, I might feel less sluggish (I gained about 90 pounds... Thankfully, 50 lbs came off shortly after I had my baby). I need to value myself more. Treat myself like I am important, rather than dismissing myself.
I know it won't be an overnight process, but I have to work towards finding myself again. Who am I? Where is the woman I was five years ago? Maybe if I can reconnect with her, I can find my emotions again.
