Had an epiphany today! Honestly, I have these a lot. I am constantly reevaluating who I am internally and looking for ways to improve. That is actually difficult for me sometimes when others around me don't have the same needs or goals for improvement. Perfection ain't gonna happen. But I really do want to be a better mother, wife, friend, daughter, sister, person!
Anyway, I have been internally stressing about my weight gain and the inability to lose any weight right now with the meds and other issues I am dealing with. Well, today I read about several women who finally got off the dieting ferris wheel and decided to accept what body they had. The problem I have is that I remember that size 2 wedding dress. No, I never want to look that thin again but I would take a 12 over a 22.
However, right now it is more important for me to be healthy and feel good no matter my weight. So I am letting the worry in that place go! I will exercise when I feel like it. I will eat what I like in moderation. I will take something when I have pain. (This is a big one! The husband says I am a martyr and I need to stop being that way!) Ok, I give in! Neuropathy has not beat me but the worry and stress over the symptoms is over!
Remember if you don't love yourself, no one else will!
