Today, I looked back at where I was a couple of years ago and now, and all I have left is pride. I put aside my ego and denial and made an effort to put in the work, and I’m doing it. Making a promise to myself and keeping it shows how much I respect and care about myself. I had to put in the work for myself, just as I do in other areas of my life. Without my holistic health, who would I be? I am seeing the improvements, and it is only up from here.
