Day 73-75 (i am who i am)

It’s taken me a looong time to get to this point, but I’ve realized one basic truth about myself — I’m a cheater. And that’s OK.

For three months I’ve been beating myself up for every little slip I’ve made in my quest to “release the thin within.”

I’m over it.

I do great, amazing even, on some days. And others, well, I’m a sad little junk food eater. Sure, I’d love to power my way through this fatness and become one hot mama, but for me, that’s just not realistic.

My goal — when I see only one chin in the mirror and collar bones hibernating just beneath the surface of my skin and not 12 layers of fat — will be achieved later, rather than sooner.

But I’ll get there. I’m not giving up. I’m just finally giving myself permission to be OK with who I am.

And damn that feels good.
