"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
~Leo F. Buscaglia
I have also learned in the last few days how much someones words can hurt. How things from the past have the potential to hurt the future, and how vindictive people can be. How some people dont care whom they hurt or what lives they destroy in the process of trying to make themselves look better. I have lost a few friends over the last couple of weeks. Today I am ok with that. I am absolutely tired of being ran over, and let down. Both of which are my fault. Things can only happen to me or affect me if I allow them to. I am the only one that can decide what affects me or how I react to it.
Today I am going to choose to react with thoughts of only myself and the people that matter to me. I have decided to make some changes in my life, in my relationship, and in my friendships. I will not back down and allow people to walk all over me, nor will allow them to stage the way I look at myself. I believe in who I am and where I want to be and who I want to be. I believe that I will take this adventure that we call life and do with it what I feel is best for myself and my family. I have felt like a doormat for longer than I care to admit. I have come to the realization that I am the only one who can change that.
How am I going to do that you ask....I am going to take care of the things that are important to me....myself and my family. I dont really have a whole lot of friends....I have extended family. :)
There are some specific things that are important to me.....For ME!
My health....
My weight...
My time management...
for my family....
time spent together apart from working.
communication.
for my business.... these changes have been truly inspired. I have a great set of support friends....Thank you!
There is a lot in this category.... those will be coming down the pipes soon....stay tuned.
Just an update on my journey as a fat girl. I gained 7 lbs week before last. I just pretty much let life take me down and I ate, and ate....and ATE! I have decided that is not an option for me. I went back to the gym the other day and it felt great...the last 2 days I have had a nasty migraine. Yesterday I didnt get out of bed at all unless it was a necessity. Today I am feeling some better...still have a slight headache...which is an indication that it is getting close to time to have my psuedotumor drained. I cant really complain they told me it would have to be done every 18 months and this time so far it has been 30 months. Hoping this bout of headaches is only my sinuses and allergies since it has been coming and going and not constant so far.
This morning I weighed in at 216.8 for that I am thankful. Hope to get back to the gym tomorrow....
Sorry this has been so lengthy, havent blogged in a while....one of those things on the list of things for me to do for me!!!
