When I was working on my MBA, one of the first ideas that we discussed was what defines success. One of the things that was brought out is that success is different for each person. As a manager/leader, it is important to play to each person's strength. By doing this, it creates a positive environment, increases employee satisfaction, and helps the employee grow. With this comes a feeling of success.
I have seen small successes along my journey; even ones that have morphed into a true change in what I eat and how I live my life. The ultimate goal has had very little success, weight loss. Yes, there has been some. My original weight when I started blogging was 253.8 lbs. I am now 250.6 lbs. The loss is slight, instead of bouncing around the 254-256 range I'm in the 249-251 range. It feels like a solid loss.
Success though, my goal of making a fat girl slim, seems to be elusive. I am a fat girl feeling stronger, healthier, and smaller, but not slimmer. Clothes are fitting different, looser, baggier, more difficult to keep my pants up, yet, my waist remains 50 inches.
I will continue on and keep working with the goal of being healthy and making better choices about my diet and how to exercise. I will continue make better choices, focus on being stronger without being "bigger", and follow my health as far as it will take me.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
