You have to be happy with you!

I think we go through life measuring ourselves by the numbers. While most of the time numbers matter, we tend to overlook what they mean. Ok so the scale doesn't give you the number you were looking for, but what does the inches give you? What are you able to do now that you couldn't? How do you feel now since you started on a journey to health? How does it feel to have friends that are interested in fitness over being skinny and that don't want you to starve yourself?

So much lately, with summer fast approaching; I am seeing I want to be thin. How about I want to be able to be active? Get outside and move. Feel happy soaking up the sun.

The biggest thing I have learned since starting this journey is that the way I feel now is a billion times better than ever before. Being healthy means being happy to me. I have big dreams and goals that I will achieve, and this journey is only helping me. I have learned to love myself for who I am again, which has made me a stronger person. I am no longer afraid to try things or do things that I did when I was sickly thin. I love my heart, personality, soul, and my body for what it can do. One day I will be ecstatic for the way my body looks, but who would know what I can do but me.
