Love who I have become

 

I love this quote right now. For me this is only too true. College is finally ending, I am graduating in 10 weeks, just 10 weeks! I have worked long and hard for this and I am so excited to be done, and to have accomplished what I set out to accomplish. Anyone who has attempted school with kids knows it can be a nightmare, it's challenging and exhausting, and some days you don't know how you will make it through. But I am graduating with honors, and I am so proud of myself. I fought hard for this. On top of that I have succeeded in losing 30lbs since last May and 100lbs since the birth of my little princess. And even though it is not my ultimate goal it is a huge milestone and I feel accomplished in that. When I look at the person I am today, the mom, the wife, the woman I am proud of what i have become, and anyone who has known me for more than 5 years knows I have fought hard to become this woman. When I was married to my ex husband I had so much potential that was being wasted in unhappiness and the moment we parted ways I could feel myself flourishing. My husband today has been a huge part of my growth and success. He has supported me and allowed me to chase after my dreams and my goals. I am proud of my strength, and my willpower. Weight loss is a hard battle, and creating a health active life is a challenge. I was never a runner, I hated running, but in the last year I have become a runner! I am thrilled with this! I always wanted to be a runner and now I am! 

In the last 5 years I have transformed myself and my life to such an extent that I don't think people who missed out on those 5 years would recognize me anymore, and that is amazing. That makes me happy. I was not who I wanted to be, and so I took a leap of faith and changed everything. It was hard, and it was scary, but it was so worth it. 

I love who I have become, because I have fought hard to come her.
