Shame on me for spending so much time focusing on what to change next. Identifying the problems is helpful, but it shouldn't take up all my time. So it's time to celebrate the successes. There are two big things that come to mind. First, I got a promotion! I have been giving my job everything I've got for the past few years and it has paid off! I'm now a manager and I feel like I've found new confidence in my abilities. Of course it comes with challenges, but thats for another post. For now I'd like to pause and reflect on how rewarding it is. I finally feel like I'm on the same level with my colleagues, friends, even my husband.
The second success that I'd like to give myself a little credit for, I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I've been feeling better about myself, but it really stood out to me today when I put on one of my size 6 dresses and there was so much fabric puffed put over my smaller curves. I'd like to lose another 10lbs, but I'm really happy to be where I'm at 8 months after giving birth.
