Half way through! Yesterday marked 6 months since the day I told myself: Enough Denisse, this has to stop.
A part of me wishes I could say that time has fled or that is has been easy, but I would be deceiving myself. It’s been 6 long months – to say the least – of ups and downs. Truth is, taking one day at a time has helped me get this far.
One of my favorite quotes of C.S. Lewis says something like: “… day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different” and that’s how I feel about the first half of the year.
The thing about progress is, that there’s this one that is so visible and obvious that you can capture in a photograph. Believe me, it feels good seeing a transformation resulting from months of discipline and hard work. However there’s this progress inside you, the emotional one, that you can only feel, not see nor touch, but you know that it’s there and is no less then the first one. In fact, that’s the hardest one to achieve!
So this – my very first post – is about progress and a celebration to tiny victories seen or unseen!
PS. If I could go back in time, I would go back to mid-August last year to tell the 25 year-old me laying in the bathroom floor crying: You will survive this Denisse, just keep pushing through!
