Hearts Desire...
We have all spent so much time trying to hide from what was obvious to everyone else around us!
We have run away from the comments that we pretended we didn't overhear--
we have averted our eyes not to see the nasty or pitying looks--
we have retreated from the life we really wanted to live and acted like everything was fine just the way it was.
Deep inside we were screaming for someone or something to make it right!!
For the magic pill or the magic diet or the magic plan to follow to make us the people we wanted to be.
All of this was entertwined with our weight and health issues.
We have used this "weighty issue" as an excuse for things that had nothing to do with the weight.
We have hidden from relationships, blamed the weight for failures in other areas of our life, and practiced every kind of self destructive behavior you could think of, all in the name of being too fat.
Well, I say the time has come to just chuck it all out with the trash!!
Give up all those old excuses and reasons and rationalizations!
Find the magic in your own heart because that's the only kind you can count on.
Find your inner strength and make that decision that you want to be happier and healthier and managing your weight is one of the steps you need to take.
Use all the tools you can find to help you out.
Stop running away from the old you and start walking toward the person you want to be.
Add some other goals to your life besides losing weight.
Don't make it the ONLY thing you think about.
Live your life like you were already lean and fit and IT WILL COME!!!
Find your bliss in yourself and be proud of who and what you are and shut out those old negative thoughts and ideas that were planted by you and by others long ago.
What's done is done and what's over with is over with!!
Look forward, not behind.
Pretend you have just walked through a great large doorway into a hall with several doors along the way.
Those doors are all open for you!
Step through and close the big one behind you and start putting one foot in front of the other.
Everytime you reach another door, go through and close it behind you because you are not going back!!Before you know it, you'll be at the end of that hallway and stepping back out into a great bright world of opportunity and chances for you to take every day!!
The light is just beyond your reach right now so stretch yourself and move on towards your heart's desires!
You can do it!
I can do it!!
We all can do IT!!!
We have the power and we just have to use it!
