I am proud of a few accomplishments I've made in the recent few months:
1. Being porn-free since July last year, as in giving in to the need to look at porn due to whatever stimuli, e.g. stress, frustration, isolation, etc. 2. Got a job, loving it and excelling at it. 3. Lost a LOT of weight. Haven't weighed myself, but I'm regaining my lean muscle mass when I was swimmer (getting there, but far from over), and dropped my pant size from a 34 to a 31. I was fit when I came to the States 6 years ago and even then I was still a size 32! My old physical injuries don't hurt anymore..I feel great! 4. My self-confidence has increased significantly. I lost it a while ago, but now I have a better outlook of pretty much everything. Being free from the guilt of porn, connecting with God, and staying healthy have helped! 5. My relationship with Christ and His Father has deepened such that I feel more grounded and confident. I guess I have more love to give nowadays too. Having way less hate and criticism in me has, I think, allowed me to love and be more empathetic about others more easily. I still have a long way to go, but at least I'm glad I'm not ashamed to talk to Him now.
