My new plan……..
I have been doing a lot of reflecting on things and trying to put things in respective. I have come to a few conclusions.
1. This is not just a diet! This is a new lifestyle! This is for a healthier me!
2. This is not a race! Yes, I want to finish and be in control, but does it matter how long it takes me? No, as long as I do it!
3. Stress is always going to be a part of my life. It is up to me to choose how I handle it. It is up to me to find a way to deal with my stress besides eating.
I am going to start a personal journal for myself. I need to try to do something to become more positive. I am so tired of feeling down all of the time. I know that part of this is the weather! I am so tired of Winter and I know when Spring gets here I will be able to get outside and do things. Until then I have to find some other things to become more positive. I am really working on that.
I am so thankful for my buddies who have not given up on me!
One positive thing! My daughter-in-law just won a big chunk on a scratch off lottery ticket! I am so happy for her and my son and kids they could sure use it. I like to buy tickets too, but my biggest win was 50 bucks!
Well here is to a more positive day!
Have a good one!
That is great Bette Jo and definitely a step in the right direction. Girl you had me worrying for a minute! SMILE Glad that you could reflect and sort of put things into the proper perspective! I know you can do anything and trust me journaling is one of the key elements to successful lifestyle change. Not only do you write down food but also other things that are happening in your life! Congrats to your daughter-in-law on her winnings!!!! HOORAY FOR THE POSITIVITY!!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… you JUST made my day! I’m so happy to read this blog and see the turn around on your views. Great conclusions lady!
