Be not afraid of growing slowly

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing still.
Chinese Proverb

It’s time to learn some lessons

I’ve been having a big fat pitty party for myself for about 5 months. Something bad happened to me. I gained weight. I felt really sorry for myself and depressed. And then…

-My husband and I got closer

-I re-learned that my identity is the not same as my weight and my true friends  love me no matter what

-I re-learned that I am a goddess no matter what

-I started therapy again and am grappling with some issues that have plagued me for years. They did not magically go away just because some fat went away.

-I am coming to grips with the fact that there is no “right” way to live life-some ways are preferable but we just do what we can

-I am getting the help that I needed in a way that I did not know I could get

-I have amazing people in my life who can really contribute to me if I let them

-I want to be happy-joyful and at peace-not miserable-even when I’m tired

-I am still here and at the end of the day-i think that’s a good (preferable) thing

So I am dusting myself off-rolling up my sleeves and getting to work!
