Hello blog,
Christmas is here and now nearly gone. It's amazing how long you prepare for this day and then in a mere 24 hours it's done. So yeah, weight loss/healthy eating and living has not been going very well right now. I blame the holidays, when it's more likely my bad habits, but it's so damn hard to try and change during this time of the year, so I am going to end up being another cliche at the gym at the beginning of the new year.
Yet I'm starting to realize this isn't so much about the big picture. Not about the big picture? Say whaaaat? It's really about the teeny tiny pictures that add up to the big picture. A Monet if you will. Each little brush stroke of paint, when up close looks like a blob of color and insignificant; but each and every brush stroke matters. Once the paint drys, you step back and have a beautiful picture. And yes I did just borrow this analogy from Clueless.
So this past month the brush strokes have been kinda ugly, but I've come to a realization in the past week. I need to be a little more forgiving towards myself. I need to realize that every single choice I make will not be perfect, but to realize that every choice does matter. I'm tired of putting off healthy decisions for tomorrow. So my new year's resolution is not to lose weight, but to be kinder to myself. And being kinder to my body is to make every brush stroke matter.
