Daily we seem to fight an uphill battle. It is easy to be discouraged. Look for the milestones and celebrate them!

The past few years, I have been in a weight battle due to my medication regimen. When I say battle, I mean battle. Multiple doctors and specialists have told me that it is due to the medication, not diet. We pressed on in the battle. Yet, so far, I have been losing that battle instead of the weight until recently.

Finally, medication changes have allowed me to see progress. Oh, it is slow progress, a drop in the bucket so to speak, but progress none the less! There is a long road ahead, but yesterday we celebrated as we adjusted the size of my brace.

I think we need to document these little milestones of victory. It will keep our eyes on the prize so to speak.

If you are where I have been for the past six years, seeing no progress, keep fighting. Keep pressing on and watching for any progress. Maybe that progress is simply staying positive through it.

What milestones (big or small) are you celebrating?
