Today, I've Succeeded

Today I've done well with my diet. It's the first couple of weeks into this change and today is the day where I finally feel like it was the right move.
Why is that?
Well, because now I'm to the point that always eventually comes after change of this kind. That point is the one where I see change in my body and I feel like all of the discipline was worth it.
I've been struggling a lot with sticking to this thing and I have failed a couple times already, but not today. Today I look in the mirror and while I still hear that voice in my mind that tells me to go to the vending machine or pick up a burger on the way home, it's easier now not to listen. It's quite a bit easier, actually.
Today I wanted to go get a small bag of chips and a soda, and I even had the excuse that I'm still hundreds of calories under my 1520 calorie-a-day limit, but I didn't, and I won't. I won't do it because I see change and I know that what I'm doing is working.
Too often we don't wait until we see the changes that we're working toward. I'm the poster boy for "attempting" change. I try for a few days and then when I don't see progress I quit.
But one of the lessons I've learned this year is that change only comes through pain; through discomfort. Often, it only comes through extended, or prolonged, discomfort.
Being hungry isn't comfortable; getting my heart rate up isn't comfortable; pushing myself to my limit isn't comfortable. But these things bring positive change, and that is what I want, so I do them. And when I see that I'm losing weight and gaining muscle and that the self-discipline I exert in these areas is now spilling over into other areas of my life that also sorely lacked it, I know I'm doing the right thing.
Thanks for reading, see ya soon!
