I was so inspired by Doctor Tro's post yesterday on rebelliousness, resentment, and stubbornness. Around this time last year, I would find ways to hide the fact that the three Oliebollen I bought (a Dutch fried sweet treat enjoyed around Christmas) were just for me. I’d get angry and resentful if someone told me to be careful about what I ate. In my head, I’d think, “Yeah, if it were that easy to lose weight, everybody would do it!” If only I had understood that it wasn’t willpower I lacked, but that I first needed to silence the constant hunger simply by tracking my glucose levels. Today, I feel incredibly grateful that all the time I used to spend eating can now be spent on other things… like actively playing with my daughter and embracing a new addiction: sports 🥰 Yesterday, I HAD TO get in my workout hours, even if it meant being at the gym at 10 p.m., just like I 'had to' get those Oliebollen in my belly last year!
