the difference a year makes
A year ago my life looked very different. In some ways it hasn't changed at all. In other ways it is so vastly different it's hard to imagine that it has only been one year. How do I even begin to describe the journey of the last year? There is so much. . .life. I found courage last year. Courage to push out of my comfort zone. Courage to uproot myself. Courage to begin again. I moved home. I would not trade the time I have had with my family over the last year for anything . For the first time in my life I found a job that required me to try something new, that required more of me. It's the same thing I've always done, but completely different. It stretched me. It changed me. I can't go back. There has been a skinny girl inside of me for the last seven years, and she finally got out. From my heaviest I have lost nearly fifty (yes, 50) pounds. I wasn't even looking for it. I wasn't even trying. It just happened: seven years worth of healthy decisions
