So I'm 4 months into my journey and while there are physical changes happening, (hurry up girls ), the big change is in my mental and emotional state.
While I'm not even close to being happy yet, I'm not the depressed person that I was 6-12 months ago. I can see that I am capable of being not only content, but even happy with myself.
The mental "stability" was a good thing, but what shocked me to the core have been the emotional changes. I actually cry now. All my life, I could probably count the number of times I've cried. Now in the last 6 weeks, I've had two nights where I just bawled my eyes out. Felt good about it as well. (what a shock that was).
I guess, I'm just happy that I am finally becoming the person I really am inside. Inside and outside in harmony for the first time in my life.
