New beginnings

Welcome to Sarah's scribblings!

Yesterday I had such an amazing day hanging out with friends at Rottnest. We cycled and swam and hung out at the pub - so all in all a GREAT day :)

Spending time with these girls is the best kind of therapy - knowing I can say anything and I'm still accepted and if I'm struggling they will be there for me.

Lately I've been reflecting on my journey and where I have come so far. Sometimes it's hard to see the changes and I need to remind the fat
girl in my head that she's been replaced! Today I wanted to share some of the gems I have discovered or rediscovered lately.

1. If you want to get there you will make a way. If not you will make an excuse.

2. You can't make people join you on the journey - sometimes that means you'll leave people behind.

3. This program has given me so much more than weight loss!

I've spent a big part of this week upset and defeated. I don't want to let what other people do or say control how I feel about myself. I am going to run my own race and I know I have some amazing people beside me cheering me on. I know that I will have times where I'm sad about friendships broken or doubt my ability to do this. Those moments will not define me. How I respond to those situations will define me.

So I invite you to join with me and see where this crazy journey takes us!

Until next time

Sarah

  1. What an AMAZING day we all had...I think we all needed it! After Saturday night and then yesterday I have been shaking my head wondering what I did to get so lucky with the people I have in my life. I am just ever thankful to Mish/12wbt for bring us together...but so proud of each and everyone of us who opened ourselves up to the process and embraced it wholeheartedly! xxx
