Thank you for sharing your feelings and hurdles. Many of us share them… the despair that things progress too slowly, the doubt we can continue when it is so easy to just succumb to temptation and slide back. I am sure everyone who listens to you is rooting for you so that is something going for you - even if invisible.
I have enjoyed all of your different postings about tech, about life and human nature, and now about your own personal struggles. No need to be chipper all the time - who is, after all? I find all your sharing uplifting anyway because there is something in you that is uplifting. And no need to apologize, although I do realize it is one of our Canadian distinguishing traits :-)
Every day is a new opportunity for adventure, for another small contribution! And then one day we wake up and realize…we are there.
Learning to be patient with myself is my biggest challenge too. Not just with weight loss but with life! Mine seems to come from an internal voice (from childhood experiences) that tell me if I'm not achieving goals every day then I am failing. This clearly isn't true but it's very difficult to break through our conditioning. I wish you luck as always. Continue with your reflections and try new things and realise you don't have to be chipper all the time ❤️
Gabe, you are such a nice guy. As someone who is not much of a talker I like hearing your ramblin' ramblings. Enjoy a tune from yesteryear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUPNCKQIQV0

Thank you April, it's a very important reminder.
It's a huge struggle because I want to be uplifting but I also don't want to downplay the difficulty of the journey.
So I'll still try to share the down times, but I'll likely continue apologizing for it!

Very cool! Thanks a ton!
I've always enjoyed talking, and these walkin' talkin's have been very helpful for me!
