February 11th, 2015 Don't Stop Dancing

If you're struggling, it doesn't mean it's hopeless. It doesn't mean it's always going to be like this. It simply means you haven't found what works best for you. Don't stop dancing and eventually you'll find the groove.

Finding our groove doesn't make us immune to struggle. Struggle can happen to any of us at anytime for a variety of reasons. When we're in our groove, doing what works best for us, we're better prepared to navigate the occasional struggle.

Where I find myself today is a dream come true. Or better, a dream that came back to life. In the middle of my relapse and regain period, I swear--I felt an incredible sense of doom. I had never felt more lost in all of my life. Righting the ship seemed impossible. I was going down quickly. This turnaround to me, is my personal miracle. 

What I did before wasn't going to work this time. Some of the elements are the same but many of the biggest elements I hold near and dear now, were not part of my original weight loss journey. I had to be willing to accept this, make adjustments; additions and subtractions--and arrive at a new approach.

I was digging through the archives of my Facebook page earlier, looking for a picture, when I came across a status update from mid-2011, maybe six months after hitting 230lbs in November 2010. I should have copied and pasted somewhere-- It was something like, Somebody asked me if I was worried about gaining back the weight and I said no, because I've redefined my blah, blah, blah, blah...Wow. I really thought I had a lock on it, huh? I read that and thought--oh no, poor guy--I had a lot of learning to do. And that part--the learning, never stops.

I know how dangerous that "sure thing" way of thinking can become. The truth is, if--and only IF, I continue to hold sacred the elements of my recovery, will I have the best chance to become successful in maintenance mode.

I had a good food day. I made my water goal and I made it to Yoga for the best class of my short practice. I'm feeling exceptionally well.
