I pulled out my old WW weight records so I could find the date that I first dipped into the lovely world of Onederland. It was August 2008. I noticed the weight logged above that was 200.6. That is exactly what I weighed-in at my last official WW Studio Workshop of 2020.
I’ve said before that my journey is split into many sections. Before WW, After Goal, Re-Gain Phase, and now Re-Losing Phase. Each phase felt different based on what what important to me at the time. I have been comprising myself to where I was in 2014 and 2015 completely forgetting that I had a journey down the scale the first time where I also saw these same numbers.
In 2008, I was right where I am now. I was hanging onto the 200s with my sights on the 199s. It is hard to remember what that felt like. I do remember what it felt like when I was going back up the scale in 2014 and when I saw 200 again. However, my first journey down the scale to 199 is a distant memory and one I can’t quite cling to anymore.
Reflecting back helps me move forward. I gain a new perspective and often I am better equipped to handle whatever twists and turns this journey has in store. I realize now I need to reflect more, not just on the last 6-ish years but those first few years too. Those years are just as important and should not be over shadowed by the back part of this journey.
