Satisfaction

Options
I feel like so many of us (myself included) rarely allow ourselves to be happy or satisfied with all the hard work and dedication it has taken to get to a healthier place. We are constantly chasing that additional weight loss, that smaller notch in our belt loop, etc.

I have made major changes in my life and I feel better about myself; physically and mentally. However, I struggle everyday to appreciate the work I have done and the place where I am right now. Occasionally, I will glance at myself in the mirror and be happy and not be ready to beat myself up for not being at my goal weight.

I have never been at a "goal" weight, so who knows how I will actually feel when I get there. But ultimately I would like to feel satisfied and proud, not thinking I should lose a few more pounds.
