#newyears #newyearnewme #resolutions Hope everyone has a fantastic New Year's! 😘❤🎉🎆 I also wish everyone the best of luck with their resolutions! My journey was not the result of a resolution, but I'm definitely no stranger to them. I understand the appeal of a fresh start with the new calendar and the idea the we can transform after the ball drops. That being said, is like to offer just a few tidbits that helped me along the way. First, I had to understand that nothing drastic was going to happen overnight... that this was going to be a process. Trying to measure my success by how quickly I could do it often left me discouraged when I failed to reach unrealistic goals. Instead, I learned to measure my habits and trust that the results would come. In that same light, I also realized that I had to focus on long term, not trying something unhealthy or unsustainable. I found small changes to my routines like using smaller plates, bowls, and glasses that I still stuck with to this day. Finally, I had to let go of the guilt of a "bad day" and pick myself up and do better the next day. This was the hardest one for me. I want to "perfect" as possible, so in the past I'd let that guilt spiral into bad days, bad weeks... bad habits. With the understanding that I didn't have to be perfect to do better than I had been, I finally have built better habits and routines into my daily life. Believe in yourself and there's no telling what you can do! 💪❤ #weightloss #motivation #goals #halfmysize #dontevenrecogizemyself #180poundsgone #andcounting #190poundsgone #200poundsgone #200poundclub #neverquit #worthit #fitfam #instafit #redhead #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #weighlossjourney #transformation #inspiration #weightlosstransformation
