That's one of the reasons you are writing your new story...because you "get" that it's not about the weight. My story isn't about weight, either. But man is it about self-esteem. Great post Chris

This is one of the best posts I've read in a while. Got me thinking. For me, it started off as "lose weight". Strictly. But, the ACT of losing weight, and what it took - change, discipline, determination, reflection, adjustment, etc. - that act in itself led to the REAL change(s). In me, anyway. It was wanting to lose the weight that made me take the other steps. I admire you for taking the other steps first. I had to get there a little "bass ackwards", I guess. The point is, I got there! Now the real* work has begun. - Mia

there you are. good stuff. straight to the heart. good to put a stake in the ground and see where you are and peek back and why you are there.

Yep, it's all about controlling the narrative, not only what story you lay out for yourself but also if you choose to see the story arc and all the sub-plots with a positive or negative spin.
