Commitment Made Me Cry

It’s prolly not good writing, but it feels right to say it at the beginning: I burst into tears when I was writing the post on using inversion to become a better writer. And I mean a bunch of tears! And sobbing, but that pretty quickly turned into elation and laughter when I realized what had happened.

I had just finished the two lists and was thinking about what to write when I realized that this was such a good motivation for me that I knew I would do it.

I’ve committed to something before in the way I knew I had just committed to writing. I once weighed 285lbs+ (I say plus because I was too ashamed to weigh when I got heavier than that. ) I committed to counting calories and cardio exercise. I’ve been under 190lbs for almost eight years now.

Recently, I switched from cardio focus to weight lifting focus in my exercise. I love looking in the mirror and knowing that my body will get healthier and stronger and better looking because I’ve “flipped the switch of discipline” for weight lifting now.

I think the reason I burst into tears was because I trusted me more than I ever had before. The evidence that I’ve stacked up with other commitments was enough for me to have confidence that I would do what I said I was going to do. It was incredibly empowering. I can’t wait to see what happens!
