39 days to a more positive me...

I'm back after a brief leave of absence. Its like when I feel like I've lost all motivation it finds me in my darkest hour. Ironically it all started with a Facebook post.

My friend commented how she was giving up Facebook for lent. My rude ego thought, "what is the sacrifice in giving up Facebook?" Me and my friend even had a conversation about it and she explained. Then it dawned on me. Who am I to judge? Lent isn't even a part of my religion.

So its been decided. In support of my friend and our friendship I will make a sacrifice. I find that in life you have to always have a positive outlook. Not a day passes when I don't have a negative thought towards myself. It sounds rather trivial but in support of my friend I will make a conscious effort to be positive.

Its my first official day of positivity and I must say it feels good to be ok with yesterday's mistakes. Every time I feel those negative thoughts creeping up on me I say something positive.

I know that eventually I will finish my weight-loss journey. Even though I may have bad days I will use these next 39 days to build a new habit; positivism. Positivism will be coming where ever I go including the gym. Positivism will have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with me. I hope to find that by Easter I wont have to consciously carry it with me and I will be able to say I am a positive person.
