Walk with me: 🚶🏻Keeping at it
I’m continuing the “walk with me” series, this time with my thoughts on what’s helping me stick to my difficult weight loss journey. Starting out talking about my current status, where I’m getting over a fairly brutal cold. To spoil the major theme, I think the three things that have helped me really keep at it have been:
- Keeping in mind what I’m looking forward to get out of this process
- Having the gratitude to really feel the kindness and encouragement received along the way
- Embracing progression: eagerly pushing towards within-reach goals then celebrating and appreciating them
Kindness Received
I received a very kind e-mail from a reader.
just found your blog as it was mentioned on Hacker news some months ago (don’t remember which specific blog post was talking about).
Since then i was periodically look for updates on your “journey”, i wish you the best and i find really cool that you are pushing your updates in a very sincere way and be “accountable to the world” about your weight loss also by showing your troubles.
I would say i root for you and that i hope you’ll reach your goal, but i’m pretty sure that if you continue this way you’ll surely reach it.
I really appreciate it. I wanted to share this because it’s great to highlight that there are many kind strangers out there on the open web who take the time to drop words of encouragement. It absolutely helps me a great deal!
