5 pounds

I've lost 5 pounds.

And in the scheme of my weight, or the struggles everyone in the world is going through, it's not so much. In terms of personal growth, it's huge.

Maybe as the layers fall away from the outside, I can grow from the inside. I'm already feeling better, and less sad, and anxious. It seems like the troubles from last semester are faint and things that have made me the stronger, more confident person I aim to be.

I will be that person. I will look like who I am on the inside, on the outside. And maybe once I'm finally where I need to be in terms of myself, the rest of my life will fall into place.

One pound, one workout, one blog post at a time.
