Over the past few weeks, people have started to notice the weight loss. I've gotten the, "have you lost weight?" and "what's different about you?" and "You're disappearing," which I have really appreciated. My yoga instructors have said things like, "I can see a difference. You're stronger than when you first started" and J has commented on how I'm able to do certain moves better, too (K also laughed for a good 3-4 minutes the other day when I put on my jeans and they look so baggy and horrible. She says, "Are those your pants? You can't wear those out on public anymore!"). It's been great hearing all of that. It confirms that I'm really making progress and it makes me want to push harder so I can be even better.
But, a friend said something to me this morning that meant the absolute world. He said, "I think this whole exercise thing is really paying off for you. I really notice a difference. You're glowing again." And that's when it really sunk in for me. While there is a physical transformation happening, the biggest change that I've been feeling lately is emotional. I feel emotionally lighter. The chains of my past that have been holding me down for so long are starting to break apart. I'm able to move again.
I'm starting to break free.
