Owning it!




 
 
Dear Diary....
 
 
I have noticed that since I have been focusing on eating better and trying to lose weight that I am starting to own my weight. I wonder if others do that, or know what I am talking about.
 
I am the type of person that tries to avoid the mirror, especially a full length mirror, now  I want to look, I want to notice everything so I can start noticing the changes. I have come to terms with the fact that I am overweight,  its not okay with me but I am going to be making changes. I have started making changes.
 
I think for me that something very positive to acknowledge all things I don't like about myself and share it, It keeps me grounded and focused on what I need to do.
 
One of the things I have done to "own it" is I have decided to get my hair cut too, I have worn my hair short on and off for years, but I have always tried to not go to short or still have some long hair around my face a bit to take away from how big it is. I have missed out on so many haircuts that I have wanted because of that fact, not anymore!
 
So I am going to own my weight, own me, be accountable for my actions now, in the past and in the future so I can become a better and healthier me!
