booked a one way flight...

always wanted to leave the place where I grew up and start over, looks like It’s finally happening. It almost seems surreal, don’t know if I’ll realize it until the plane takes off. Leaving my “secure” job of 5 years and everyone who knows me…but neither has really made me happy. After doing the same thing for so long, it’s almost as if you can’t break away…you tell yourself it’s “impossible”...”maybe next year”. I figure sometimes you have to take a leap to follow your dreams, no matter how insane they seem to everyone around you. It will definitely be a journey, but I’m looking forward to it.

I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and a couple of years ago I had finally “made it”, reached my goal weight…but I found myself in a constant panic, scrutinizing everything I ate, weighing myself every morning. When I took a step back from the situation, I realized I wasn’t happy and it was something that losing weight alone could not give me. Now i’ve actually gained weight back and feel even worse…I’d just like to find a happy and healthy medium, where I don’t have to keep worrying everyday, one that doesn’t have societal standards attached to it.
