At some point it just "clicks"

My friend, Beth Anne, and I had lunch several weeks ago.  As much as I would love to have lunch with her every, single week it just isn't possible.  However, the conversation is always so great - we pick up right where we left off. 

During our most recent lunch, one topic we talked about was how I have been working out, losing weight, etc.  She asked me what was different this time, and I told her that this time it just "clicked".  My mental and physical health and well-being is the most valuable thing I have.  I realized that no one else could care for my those things better than I. 

How'd I get to this point?  Most of the back story can be read on the "About" page of my blog.  Long story short is that in May 2010, I was done.  I was tired of not feeling good, both physically and mentally.  I decided that I was going to join a new gym, start working out with a trainer, and modify my eating.  The part about joining a new gym and working with a trainer was relatively easy.  Yes, my trainer kicked my ass, but he also taught me that I am capable of doing anything I set my mind to do.  It took until November 2010 to figure out how best to modify my eating.  I am now recommitted (for the last time) to Weight Watchers.  I feel like I am having great results. 

I feel better, both inside and out.  Thank God that it finally "clicked".
