I’ve been struggling. I’ve had probably the worst 3 days of my life all at once. Life ebbs and flows and I’m definitely in a downward loop. My trainer I think officially fired me I mean he had a right to. He said I haven’t made any progress in the last six months and he’d be right. Or at least I thought he was right.
Tonight I went out with some friends to a craft cocktail bar. I had 1.5 drinks and 3 waters. I drove myself home. I didn’t binge. I didn’t drink to get drunk, I got home before 1!
I saw a girl there that I used to be good friends with but who I let go for a multitude of reasons the number one being every time I was with her I was stupid and drunk. And while that’s fun for a little bit, it’s life damaging later on. I saw her I hugged her I said hi and I went back to my group of friends whom were drinking their waters after having a few cocktails and chatting and having fun and aren’t trying to pick up men at the bar and aren’t acting drunk and stupid and I didn’t feel any sense of fomo for going back to my nice little table of friends.
And that’s when it hit me. I may have not changed physically in these last 6 months but I have changed mentally. I no longer need to go out and get drunk. I set boundaries for myself, no more than 3 drinks in a weekend (F, S, Sun) and no drinking during the week. I met people that are focusing on their careers and therefore I have focused so heavily on mine I’m actually moving somewhere. So yes, I do need to focus on my food and weight and healthy eating bc I still have 40lbs to go but in this interim of time I made a lot of strides mentally and for that I’m really proud of myself.
