Saying goodbye to 2015

I heard a bit on the radio tonight - what do you want to leave behind in 2015? My first thought was 100 lbs! And I'm taking steps to make that a forever left behind 100. So in spirit of leaving things behind I'm going to go through my clothes and get rid of the too big stuff - I don't need it anymore. And I won't ever need it again (of course my brain inserts "hopefully" here still - ugh!).

Here's to fresh starts and leaving some baggage, worries, problems back in 2015.

Anything you'd like to stay in last year?

    Losing 100 lbs. has been a HUGE eye opener for me about the people around me. Some people, like my husband, have been my biggest cheerleaders. Some people, like my mother, have been full of jealousy, which is revealed in the way of put-downs, passive-aggressive gestures, and comments. Other people have been surprising - not ever lending me any credibility in my work environment until my weight loss, or feeling threatened by me now that I've lost weight.

    At any rate, my answer is that I'm saying goodbye - permanently - to toxic people. I'm trying to work on me. I don't want to take on their issues, too. And it kind of comes back to what my piano teacher used to tell me when I was a kid: "What other people think about you is none of your business."

    Because honestly, it's their cross to bear anyway.

    I am going to leave behind negativity. No more self doubt, no more second guessing myself, no more feeling bad when my trials and errors seem to be more errors! I am going to start looking at everything from a positive perspective, even if it doesn't seem positive at the time!

    I'm leaving behind my "busy-ness" that keeps me from finding me time to work out consistently - I often let life get in the way and derail me from working out and then have to hop back on the wagon...no more excuses, those are staying here in 2015 too ;)

    I am leaving behind the habit of always putting myself last when it comes to making sure that needs are meet and people are happy. That has gotten me nowhere. Now that I've made some changes I will keep moving forward, even though I know it won't be easy!
