"Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground, like a sky scraper."
This version, this band, her styling... it's so me. I love Karmin anyway. Maybe it's the fact her name is Amy too, or the fact she's so very retro and pin up looking too... and down to Earth.
But the triumph over life and our trials is true. We can accomplish anything.
This morning when I took my week one progress shots, I noticed that my body is changing. When I stepped on the scale, my weight was up a half a pound from one week ago. The eating disorder in me was screaming. SCREAMING. The logic in me was hollering right back to shut up. Thankfully I had a text from Ahmad that was streaming real time in my head too: "That half pound up is burning calories. It's muscle."
I look over the progress pictures, which I am still too chicken to post, and I do see the changes. It's a fight in me. It's still a real battle I fight. But I fight it with you. Don't listen to the scale. Listen to the change your clothes, to your body changing shape. You are rising from the ashes of your former self. Give your body time. Throw the scale away if you have to. It's a process and a journey. Not a destination. Keep plugging along with me! You can do it!
Tonight I go to Spin Class - What are you doing?
Yours in this journey - Amy
