The voice in me

I must say, I am not a health specialist or a nutritionist and my recent small win, I just can’t find an explanation.

Towards the end of February,I was wasn’t happy with my appearance and weight so I made a decision that for March I was going to put myself on a weight gaining challenge. The goal was to gain enough weight for me to move from the underweight BMI to the healthy BMI.

Last week I posted that it doesn’t have to make sense to everyone, when you are on your journey to archive something, however truth be told it won’t make sense to you as well.

The first 2 weeks into the month of March, I was on a roll , gaining a kg per weeks and it felt good. Then came the plateau, I remained on the same weight for 2 consecutive weeks well kinder slightly declined on the last one and I felt discouraged.

Am at work now, feeling stretched and exhausted from overnight travel, and a week that felt like dragging a huge stone around my neck, if you looked at my schedule, the skipped meals, the stress, depression in-between ,it wouldn’t make sense that I am actually  moving forward.

I stepped on the scale today and found out that I hit the target, reached the milestone.

It’s a strange, quiet victory, it doesn’t make sense to the parts of me that demands “perfect consistency” , but that’s the point, Growth happens in the gaps we can’t always explain. Sometimes your body and your spirit are working on a level that defies the chaos on the surface. The small little miracles we often don’t look out for.

When was the last time you saw progress in your life that didn’t make sense based on the struggle you were in?
