Too Legit to Quit

Question: Is rain at 6am in July a legit excuse not to go swimming?

This morning I decided that, yes. Yes it is.

I figured it's a step in the right direction - the direction of positive change - because I actually got out of bed, got dressed, and got in the car. Three steps more than I have ever taken before.

Milestone - I don't hate looking at the mirror anymore. Or pictures. I'm starting to feel okay about me. I think I look fat in some pictures, but that's cause I am right now. I won't always be. It's just where I'm at right now. And it doesn't make me hideous.

Haha...

As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that what I'm doing is meeting myself where I'm at. It's a core value at my job to meet our students "where they're at". Like we talk about it a few times a week.

Lesson learned: It's okay to be okay with me no matter where I am on this journey. Jesus loves me and so do I.
