🎂 11 weeks until my birthday… and I'm putting myself back on the list.
Following on from my last post about there being no wagon, just choices…
I've been thinking about my own choices.
Mum passed away earlier this year. At the same time, I took on more responsibility with Slimming World, alongside home educating my children, running a household and all the usual juggling that comes with being a mum.
And somewhere along the way, I put myself on the dusty shelf.
My weight has gone up and down with life. Some weeks I've had amazing losses, other weeks I've struggled, and sometimes I've gained.
But I've stopped and taken a breath.
And asked myself:
Where was I?
Where am I now?
And where do I want to be?
I don't need to do more.
I need to go back to the simple things I already know work.
Good food.
Moving my body.
Planning.
Writing things down.
Taking it one meal, one day and one week at a time.
So this morning, after months of saying “I'll start next week”, I finally opened my 12 Weeks of Sensational Success book. ❤️
I've given it a purpose.
Last night I weighed in expecting a gain…
I stayed the same. 🙌
That little boost was just what I needed.
But it also reminded me of something really important…
We don't have to do this alone.
I think stepping away from group was one of the biggest mistakes I made.
Sometimes you need to get close to the fire. 🔥
Surround yourself with people who understand. Link arms with people walking the same path. Let yourself be supported — and support others in return.
So, if you're looking at your own journey and asking:
Where was I?
Where am I now?
Where do I want to be?
Maybe it's time to take that breath too.
Maybe it's time to get close to the fire.
