You are the link between your past and future self. Keep going.

I’m proud of myself...not present-day me, not future me, but past me. The obese, 225lb girl about a year ago who decided to change her life for the better. She’s the one who decided to keep going and take the risk of transforming her entire lifestyle despite the possibility that nothing would have came out of it. Sometimes she was so sad she couldn’t even get out of bed. She felt so alone sometimes even though she was surrounded by many people who loved her. She stared at the mirror after 3 weeks of intense dieting and exercise and broke down crying because she saw no difference numerically and physically. I wish I could go back in time and tell her everything would turn out fine. That this suffering was only temporary. That her hard work would eventually pay off. But I can’t. and the amazing thing is, is that she kept going even without that reassurance.

She is strong. She is persistent. Without her perseverance I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t have made the progress I’ve made so far. She is the sole reason I keep going. Because I realize if I stop now, I would be letting her down. All her suffering and hard work would be in vein. I am the link between my past and future self. So I will not stop. I will keep on going.

Your future self is manifesting this energy towards you right now. You are not weak because you can’t lift that heavy weight yet. You are not pitiful because you can’t run a few meters without stopping to catch your breath. You are not a failure because you’ve only lost 1 pound in a month. You are strong, resilient, and courageous simply because you keep on going despite not knowing if anything you do is worth it. Your future self, a year from now, is thanking you and commending you for taking the simple initiative to change your life for the better. It gets better. Keep going.
