Monkey off of my back
Here on Day 202.
I'm down 20 pounds.
People often ask me why I seem so happy nowadays. It's probably because I finally got the 500-pound gorilla off of my back!
I "borrowed" money from people I shouldn't have, often without asking, while I was gambling. I didn't look at it like stealing at the time. I always thought I would put the money back later.
For years, I also had nightmares and sleep apnea. I would wake up screaming. My sleep was restless, irritable, and unsatisfying. I could sleep for 12-14 hours and still have little energy.
Once I came clean to all I owed and made payment plans I can afford, I'm sleeping. The sleep apnea is gone. I don't associate it with the losing of the 20 pounds. I associate it with the fact that having a clear conscience and inner peace allowed for me to move forward, do what I needed to do to lose the weight, be healthy, and take charge of my life.
With all due seriousness, I feel like a new person. I have energy, I'm excited about life, and I know I can do anything.
