#demonswithin

I started using Tumblr back a few months ago and tried to use it to help regain focus for losing weight....Well just like most things; it started and ended very quickly. Thinking about how I always get gun-hoe to start something, but never fully watch it all pan out. As soon as something hard comes up in my life, I quickly retreat to old ways. 

I am sure most people have been down this same journey and have came across the same setbacks if not worse ones then mine. I think I have used every excuse in the book as to why I can’t stick to a plan. 

It then dawned on me that in order to really accomplish what I want to for my future; I must first let go of the past. The past...well I have demons just like most and most I will not be sharing in much detail unless I am drunk and let my guard down. However, everyone doesn’t need to know my demons, but rather my journey of tackling them no matter what they might be. 

I have been listening (audio book) to the Unteathered Soul (http://untetheredsoul.com/) and it opened my eyes to things I never thought about. The voice in my head (my conscious) has had a large grip on how I live my life and has ruled my life decisions for far too long. I do feel that the voice in my head not only talks up a good drama story, but also causes way more headaches than needed.  If you haven’t read that book (or listened) I highly recommend. 

With all that said, I decided that my journey isn’t just weight loss, but a journey for finding me. What truly defines me and who I am? How can my journey to losing weight help me regain focus and find the driven person who is buried deep within? 

I plan to answer the above questions and more by posting my journey to finding me and what that means. I am a huge reader, so you will probably see books I reference or recommend; please feel free to check them out and I would love to hear about other’s journeys as well :-)
