I'm just so ready.

I thought about posting this since I joined, but held off because I thought I was going to come across in an unappealing way.

A lot has been happening in my personal life over the last year. Slowly I'm starting to get the pieces fitting back together. This has involved me putting health and fitness on the back burner and drinking on the front. In that moment, alcohol was the only thing that made the stress disappear for the time being.

I'm here now because joining the gym was something I had to do for me. I finally said to myself - I'm done being walked over, I'm done sacrificing myself for others, I'm done feeling like a useless piece of crap. I'm done. It's time to disengage for my own health.

I hope that being consistent at the gym not only helps me lose weight, but to give me confidence and discipline. I hope it gives me that motivation to remind myself every single day that I'm worth so much more. I hope it brings out the true me that has been suppressed for so long. I hope it gives me even more goals to achieve in terms of weightlifting and cardio.

I no longer reach for a drink to make me feel better. That's a big step. Sure, I love having a glass of wine here and there, but I'm not using it to de-stress or make things go away. I'm eating healthier because it makes me feel better. Im taking care of me, because I deserve it
