Dear weight loss journey.
You’ve taught me so much. In many ways you’ve reminded me of other aspects of my life. For some strange reason I expected you to work differently.
Through you I’ve learnt that one can hurt in one area of life while the route cause is sitting elsewhere. For years I’ve worked hard in addressing the symptom and wondered why you never moved. Well now I know, just like when I’m trying to fix other areas of my life, fixing the route cause always leads to sustainable solutions.
You’ve reminded me that one can not do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. While I’ve tried different diets in my life through you I’ve been reminded that the menu was the different yet the approach was the same. How could I have done the same thing over and over again and expect a different result? This time around the approach has been different and suddenly I’m seeing results.
How can I forget the lessons you’ve taught me around managing stress levels, adequate sleep and healing. I knew stress was not good for my productivity at work and for me to operate optimally spiritually. Yet I never expected you to be directly impacted by them! Who deceived me?
How can I forget how you’ve taught me about the power of consistency. Through this lesson you’ve reminded me you work the same way as my spiritual life, without consistency there is neither growth nor intimacy. And with you without consistency there can be no permanent result.
For some reason I expected you to work differently. I forgot that whether I was studying for a degree or learning a new skill at work a constant pursuit of knowledge is power and support of others is key. I never studied nutrition yet I expected to be an expect in it. How so? Who deceived me?
I expected you to work differently I’m not sure why. Twenty twenty has taught me that you work like all the other areas of my life.
While I’ve tried you many times, this time around I’ve focused on you since March 2020 and here we are beginning of December 2029 and for the first time in my life, well at least my adult life I am starting to see results. And guess what I have not been starving myself. The irony!!!! I’ve learnt a lot about my digestive system, stress levels, nutrition and my body. More than anything I’ve realized that supportive environments are key for me to thrive, just like it is in my spiritual life and work life.
May I never forget your lessons as I continue to pursue your benefits for the rest of my life.
Yours,
Wells of Wonder
