Year 3 week 44
29th October- 4th November
This week has been so much better than last week. I feel I’m back to my normal self. I haven’t had a fight with my emotions either this week.
One thing I have always struggled with all my life is reading. I don’t like it. I find it a chore and very often I read something and I have no idea what I have read so I have to read it again until it goes in. I have probably only read a handful of books in my life.
At the moment it’s even more of a miracle. My eye sight has got so bad that I can’t even read words on a page anymore. If a letter comes I can’t read who it is for. I have resorted in taking photos and zooming in just to read anything.
For me to actually sit down and read a book is totally unheard of.
This week though I have spent most of my time reading. I have been going over my blog posts from the first year.
I have actually been reading through the whole year and I have to say it has brought back some amazing memories – my drawings have too.
Lately I have not been as motivated as I was in the first year and it has helped so much just to recap. As I was reading I was amazed that I actually did that. I had actually drawn a picture everyday of the year and shared my dieting highs and lows.
I was getting quite emotional at times. I even found myself amusing on occasions but the one thing that amazed me the most was that I was totally inspired. It seems funny – it’s like I am inspiring myself.
It has brought out a few changes this week. I have started to drink more water again and I have even been making myself those green juices that I use to hate. I know it’s small steps but at least it’s a start.
It goes to show that writing a diary is really beneficial especially if you read them back years later. So you never know – it could be you inspiring yourself one day in the future.
Debbie you have inspired so many people. Going to slimming world and stepping on the scales, I was shocked to see how much I weighed. I would go as far to say embrassed. Now 10 months later I am three stone two pounds lighter and have three pounds to go to get to my target. It’s not been easy but I am more confident and a lot happier with myself. Thank you.
