66 Weighs I Go: The Goal

I have a dream. It's not about weight loss. No. Really. It's not. It's not about "going back" to the girl pictured above. It's about so much more. It's about creating a new, healthy lifestyle. It's about defining happiness at this stage of my life. It's about the freedom to move. To dance. To hike. To swim. To do yoga without knee pain. To grow into a new fitness. To sleep better. To be nicer. To eat better. To lower my cholesterol. To control my IBS. But above all, it's a dream about loving myself no matter what.

Truly, I am learning to choose a lovely life, even when times are hard. It's crazy. It's hard. It's excruciating. It's beautiful.
