The Plan

A number of years ago, I was in a bad place. After a number of set backs, I was beginning to feel like a loser. Note the word FEEL. 

 

I was overweight, getting older and feeling like the sun had set on me.

 

I began to look and see what could make me feel like a winner again. To get back to where I wanted to be, FEELING like a winner, I had to get back in the habit of winning.

 

Not just a few wins. Important wins. Life goal wins. 

 

So I set some goals. A few rather lofty ones.

 

There are were two fairly big ones that I wanted to accomplish. The first  because it was important to me because it was about how I saw myself and the other is about how others see me.

 

First- the one about me was to put anther notch in my education resume. CHECK! I get a second degree in May.

 

Second- the other one is about how others see me. That one is also going well. I'm down to 245 and will eventually go a little lower. 220 is my eventual target but, coming down from nearly 300 pounds, you can forgive me for saying mission accomplished.

 

There have been other goals but these are key: I did what most people can not do or are just not motivated to do.

 

I proved myself to myself after doubting myself for a very long time.

 

I've won something back that I lost a long time  ago- self confidence. 

 

Now that I'm facing new adversity, that's damn good to have in the bank.

 

I can find a way to win.
