Week 8 and Down 5 lbs

I’m down another 5 lbs! That’s 58 pounds in less than 2 months!

This was a big unpacking week from the move, and I found a container of clothes I had packed away because they didn’t fit. They fit now!

Courage is an important part of the journey. Within a few more months I’ll be in uncharted territory. I’m committed to victory regardless of what I encounter.

In ancient Greece when their armies would land on the enemies shore, the first order of the commander was to BURN THE BOATS! 

They believed in the power of necessity and knew how to motivate the troops.  With no boats to retreat to, the army had to be successful in order to survive. As the soldiers watched the boats burn, they knew there was no turning back, there would be no surrendering.

One of the things I’m doing this time around is donating or throwing my clothes once they don’t fit. It’s one of the ways I’m burning the boats. I can never return to my former self.
