The struggle is real


I've been on this struggle for more years than I'd like to admit. Sometimes it's really easy to stay positive and do great. But sometimes it just seems like it's easier being negative. It's easier to watch tv and shovel an entire bag of chips into my mouth than it is to get up and workout. It's easier to eat 9 cookies rather than cut up some vegetables. 

I love the idea of being positive. It's something I like to preach to others who might be feeling down. But it's something I don't often practice myself. And positivity is hard when you spent the majority of your life being negative. It's hard to break free. And it makes battling problems even more difficult. Because the only thing stopping you from suceeding is you and your mind. Your negative mind.

I want to say that this is day one on my road to happiness. My road to losing weight. And I guess it is. But I've said those words so many times. And nothing has ever seemed to truly stick. 

I created this blog to hopefully document my successes (and probably my failures too) and to have a place to let out everything. My frustrations. My fears. My goals. My journey.
