Is this celebrating?
Post Content
The past couple of years, and my whole life quite frankly, have been a bit of a whirlwind. I was trying to be happy, things not working out in life over the past couple of years. At the very least, after wanting to strangle one of my doctors for not doing anything really to help, I made the move to start GLP-1 to help deal with my health (PCOS, whatever, etc.) and to lose weight because I deserve it. It's a bit of a mindfck to have been fat all my life, and I am now comfortably fitting into small sizes. I recently even picked up a new winter coat (wanted to take a photo for a post for comparison but felt like getting some thoughts out into the void) and it was mind boggling and I realized it was good to have chosen the smaller size and how loose my old coat was. Recently I'm at my wit's end with other things but soon, things will change. There is hope, but to help me feel better, with the encouragement of a lovely old man I work with (in his own loving way, who notices the weight loss and needing/buying new clothes), I am now on a trip in a city a few hours away from home that I've always wanted to visit! My plan was to go shopping for new clothes and to treat myself! I even booked a semi-nice hotel room (not 5 star, but a bathtub for some relaxing nighttime baths was non-negotiable for this trip) and it's so cozy here. Just had a delicious breakfast I was enjoying and pacing myself through at the hotel restaurant. The word on the street here is that any food here is delicious, especially compared to back home. A 4-5 hr drive (although I do like driving and the drive here was great) makes this a bit of a "meh" decision for a day trip time-wise so I'm glad I'm here for a few days! I am going to have a bit of a late start today because I have an interview for a new job this morning but I still have plenty of time and while I've only been here for a bit, I should've done this sooner and would definitely come here again. I don't own a mirror at home because reasons. But here in the hotel room I've been looking at my body and liking what I see. I would say I'm close to or at "goal". I am not perfect, and there's some things I am going to look at improving (now that I am finally getting some treatment for anemia I am hoping it'll help give me energy to get back into workouts). I have a bit of faith now and I know I just have to wait a bit longer. Annoying still, but I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I don't really have anyone else to tell this to. I've never really been one for celebrating because of how miserable things have been, but I feel so much happier recently, and I'm looking at this weekend with fun in mind and hey, the way I see it, happy almost birthday to me too I guess! Now I just need to spend a bit of time prepping for this call and I can go continue my adventure!
