Weeks Twenty & Twenty-one - Venturing
Out
I know I haven't reached my goal, and
it will be a while until I've done so. In the meantime, I cannot sit at home
and wait until I lose all of my weight. I'm not entirely confident with how I
look, but I cannot pass up an opportunity for a good party when one comes my
way.
This week I went to
just such a party - a soirée that took place on the roof of some lofts
downtown. I was really looking forward to it, even though finding an outfit
wasn't as easy as it used to be! When I got there, I discovered something that
I wasn't expecting: Half the people there were, by no means, the ideal
weight.
I guess I have
this misconception that the only people that go to parties and functions are
those that do not need to lose weight. Of course that was all a misconception
and a good time was had by all. I didn't see anyone standing in the corner
mulling about how fat they felt.
I think what's important is the attitude you carry inside. Confidence
begins from within, as they say. Maybe because I'm 37 now, shyness really isn't
an issue anymore. Nevertheless, I think it's important (and healthy) to carry
on with your life as you are in the process of obtaining your
goal.
