FIVE Months!!!
Reaching five months seemed pretty far fetched last fall...but here I am! When I've felt tempted/longing (hotel last weekend, driving past outdoor bars and restaurants on a sunny day), I can immediately remind myself why I'm doing this. For example:
1) Yes it looks fun and it always starts out fun. However, the cons outweigh the pros and I'd regret it.
2) I don't want to start back at day one. Even though I don't really believe anybody goes back to the beginning. You take with you all that you learned and discovered along the way.
3) I love feeling good emotionally and physically.
4) Showing my kids a different way to relax, celebrate and cope.
5) I love having more money to spend on things that make me feel good.
I know that there is so much more to discover about myself. There is so much more potential to unlock with this forward momentum. Better late than never!
Great list. I hear you about going back to day 1. (I don't believe it but I don't want to go back to the struggle of day 1.). And it is awesome to think about time and money saved and improved health, isn't it?
