January 2015 to November 2016. I'm not really sure how to feel. It's been a lot of tough days and weeks and months. Emotional and mental battles with myself. A lot of questioning of what my motivation is for doing what I'm doing, and forgetting those reasons along the way. A lot of fights with food, a huge love and hate relationship. Wondering why I even set this goal for myself. A lot of money and time spent. But when I take the moment to breathe and reflect as the year comes to a close, all I can and want to do is be happy and grateful for what I have learned, and the hard work I was able to put in, and the progress I've made. Thank you to all of you who have helped me in my journey of self-acceptance, and for your constant support and encouragement, especially Jules, my gracious boyfriend, who has been so nice and patient and has put up with the mean and moody Charmie. It's really hard for me to take a step back sometimes because I'm always running way ahead of myself with plans and my anxious habits. But I am truly blessed to have such patient people by my side. If you are trying to reach a goal, please make sure you don't get trapped in your bubble, and that what you choose to do is something that helps you grow inside, and that it either inspires or helps others along the way too. I hope for you to be happy, but spread that happiness to those around you too. Don't rush. Take life one day at a time, one step at a time. Be kind, and be patient, with yourself and with others, and love yourself and love others. #selfacceptance #bekindtoyourself #loveyourself #loveothers #transformation #growth #daybyday #fitwithcharm
