Today is my 6 year birthday for this blog! 6 years seems so young, yet for the life of a blog that is significantly long. I was going through my google reader the other day. I pulled up ALL subscriptions versus the normal 'new posts' that normally is displayed. I was saddened by all the blogs that had not posted since 2008 or 2009. I can hope and pray that those people had success and with that success no longer had need for a blog. However, I clearly understand that odds are that they have given up the quest for weight loss. Whatever the reason, I wish them much happiness.
In the last 6 years I have experienced great successes. Reaching Onederland was huge! I think that reaching that milestone was probably even bigger than when I finally made my doctor approved and Weight Watcher accepted (with a doctors note) weight. If my blog was any indication, this is true as there was no major celebratory post about reaching my goal. Seriously, I see vague references to it in sentences such as "three weeks to go until I'm considered a lifetime member" but it just passed without luster or fanfare. But this blog walked me through those days and I DID it! I've had moments of sadness, such as the loss of my water jug (bucket) that saw me through the bulk of my weight loss. I've had incredible successes. I've passed monumental milestones. I've worked to heal from scars that were left in my life, such as teaching my teaching experience. Even with all the success I have encountered, I also regained. This blog has seen me through a lot in the last 6 years.
The future is upon me......and I'm ready to reach onederland again. I'm ready to reach goal again and this time I plan on doing it with greater fanfare than the last time. I am going to savor my successes. I'm going to continue to be honest about my failures. I'm going to continue to live! I"m going to continue to learn to love myself unconditionally. I am going to win!!!
Happy Blog Birthday to me!
