It’s been almost a year since I started creating a series of videos on Youtube sharing about how my life was starting to change. Although I shared A LOT as I learned and changed, I want to share more. I never know exactly how to answer all the questions I get recently: “How have you lost so much weight?” “How did you learn to trust again?” “How did you get past the resentment?” “How did you keep fear & obsessive thoughts about what else might happen from consuming your mind?” “How did you learn to trust yourself, love yourself, and believe in yourself?” There is no straight-line answer to any of those questions! And there’s no “quick fix” to overcoming any of this. I haven’t even mastered them all, but the truth is...it takes WORK. Actual work. Mental work. Emotional work. Learning constantly. Physically practicing new skills. Accepting that the clichés “two steps forward and one step back,” “progress, not perfection,” and “it gets worse before it gets better” are TRUE and NORMAL.
