Back on the Change Gang

Weekly weigh-in: 225.5
Loss: -0.5
Total loss: -66.4

Emotion: Steel-willed

One of the lessons I’ve learned on this journey is that anything you do often enough becomes a habit.

Habits that remain in place get stronger and stronger.

It’s a thread that becomes a string that becomes a chain.

There was a time when my life was shackled by bad choices, bad decisions, bad habits.

I broke free and found a better way to live my life. I started eating less, eating better, exercising more.

Each day that I stayed on my path, it got a little easier, a little more ingrained.

What I was doing was becoming habit.

A thread becoming a string becoming a chain.

Lately I seem to have been struggling against the chains I’ve built up for myself. Teasing them, testing them.

Make no mistake, I don’t have any plans to undo what I have worked so hard to accomplish. I know how quickly and completely things can unravel.

So each week I will step on that scale.

Each week I will update that list on the side of this blog.

Each week is a link in a chain that connects me from the person I was to the new life I have forged for myself.

And you are all a part of my chain gang.
