Ooooooo yeah !!! It's day 17 y'all. I'm crushing this shit. I haven't felt better in my life. I'm two weeks in and I look at pictures of myself and I'm like how did I walk around looking like that haha. I know I'm so so far from where I want to be but I'm so proud of where I am.
I may talk like this shit is easy but honestly it's a challenge more frequently then I may make it seem. What really gets me through it , not to be corny or cliche but it's you guys. People that message me on Facebook telling me they went to the gym because they read my blog, the people that message telling me they called their brother last night at 3am because they had to tell them how much he meant to them. The friends I've seen handwriting letters to their sister. The family who has changed their own eating habits . I started this solely on a selfish premise . I wanted to look better , be healthy, and I wanted to be a better person. All selfish reasons. Hell, I even started this blog as a way for my close friends to be able to check me on my bullshit. What I didn't expect , was my friends and family being as out of this world as they have been. The way you guys talk about my blog, about how you are changing your life, and even asking me, little old me, for advice.... What an incredible feeling. I am here to tell you guys something crazy. The word selfish is not always a bad thing. Sometimes you need to be selfish. Put yourself before others. Not in an offensive or rude way but trust me , it needs to happen. I was one of those people who always put others first . To the point where in some cases I was living my life merely as an attachment to those people.
Two weeks ago I decided to be selfish . I decided that I needed to be the most important person in MY life. What wasn't anticipated was that by doing this , I became a better person to others. I've been way more excited to talk to people. I have been a much better friend. I always do my best to help my coworkers however I can. I have such an energy right now that I'm doing way more with my days.
I'll leave you with this: Be selfish for once in your damn life. Think about what you NEED. Then get it. Forget everyone else's feelings for a second! I promise , if you take care of you, you will be well prepared to help many, many others. I love you all so very much. I love that you guys are playing along and giving me topics and asking questions it's brilliant! My challenge is for you to write down things that will improve your life. Could be "a spa day" "a guys night out" or "eat better" "keep my house clean" but go and do it! Don't just write them down and leave em on your desk never to be seen again. Put that shit taped to your door. Don't take it down until you've done what you need to do ... FOR YOURSELF!!!
