Week 8, Day 1 #weightlossjourney
The takeaway from this week is actually being content with life exactly where it is right now. It’s not about making peace with the past.

Give yourself the chance to be your own champion. Because you are the critic in your own life. Impress yourself, first. The rest will follow.
