day eleven: perseverance

I made this poster yesterday, because I liked the picture. I decided to title it perseverance to remind me of what will get me to where I want to be. Perseverance. Not just will power, not just the desire and decision to change, but the perseverance of sticking to it. This isn't going to be a month of working out and eating better. This isn't going to be two months, three months, or even a year.

It's a lifestyle change. And I have to stick with it. Otherwise, I'll end up right where I was stuck for the last 22 years, and I can't let that happen. I've made it this far, things are clicking into the "habitual" file rather than the "forcing myself against my will" file.

Perseverance. Giving laziness and settling for less out of myself the finger. Fuck off unhappy unhealthy Gina. We're stepping it out to the beat of a happy, healthy lifestyle change. And life has never been better.
