So………… Frustration is probably my least favorite feeling. Needless to say I have been feeling it a lot lately, this doesn’t make me happy! I knew going into this process that I would have highs and lows, but I guess you can never anticipate how you might handle them. The hope is always that you will get through it with as little pain as possible but that doesn’t always happen.
So I am in my second month with virtually no progress, I am very frustrated! I guess I have been a little spoiled with 6+ months of consistent weight loss; I have come to expect it. So in my head, logically, I know this is all a part of the process but it is still very frustrating. It is the part of the journey that I can not anticipate its arrival but I dread it all the same…… It makes me crazy!
So I’m feeling a lot of frustration but then as if the angels are looking out for me (Thank goodness) I run across something that reminds me how far I have come. Did some “spring cleaning” recently and ran across some old clothes. Clothes I was unable to wear because they were too tight for me to wear comfortably, and so I tried them on now and …… Well needless to say I can not only wear them but they are so big I really can only wear a couple of the shirts as “nightshirts” or dresses if I dare! HAHAHAHAHA
Then while cleaning another area in the house I came across some old pictures. There was a few of me with my niece Gabby when she was 2 or 3 years old, so that would be approximately 7 years ago, and all I can say is WOW! It is crazy…. I have been able to show a couple people and everyone says the same thing… “That is a different person” & “That does not even look like you”. (I will try to figure out how to scan them so I can post them) Anyway… It has been approximately 8/9 months that I have been working with the Doctor but I have been making life changes and working on this weight thing on my own, to the best of my ability, for over 5 years. So when I see these old pictures it reminds me how far I have come over the past several years and not just the past several months. I have literally lost a person already and have another to go….. So while I have been feeling frustrated about the past two months…. Thank goodness for the reminder of the long term growth and accomplishments.
This journey is hard, but I am grateful that there are reminders of the alternative…. Which at this point really is not an option for me….. I am a changed person and will never be the same again.
