So Blessed

Sep 16, 2010

 Each day that passes I become more aware of my true self and more grateful for my blessings. I have lost a significant amount of weight. With each pound shed, I feel like layers of a former false self are shed, too. On Sept 22nd, Ill have one year free of alcohol and relapse from narcotics. I am proud, but aware of what more work I need to do. Progress not perfection. I am in a beautiful new home, in a loving, committed relationship, I am gainfully employed, and am a devoted member of NA. I am also a real friend today. I have my family in my life even if from afar. I am excited to see them again, especially now with the weight loss, I know they will be proud of me. 

I am a size 16 in jeans. This was my goal size and Ive reached it in just 5 months. I cant imagine losing anymore weight but I know it is inevitable and I am ready for a continuation of a healthier me! I feel beautiful and young again. I am even growing my hair out. Yes, it continues to thin, but I got it cut today and my hairdresser said it is thinning more evenly without bald or thin patches. Can I say it again? I FEEL BEAUTIFUL.

Thank you God and to all who have supported me on this journey directly and indirectly. I am so grateful.
