Insiprational Thoughts

I am seriously committed, and very mindful of my responsibility to my body. I owe it a lot for putting it through all of this! Not just from the trauma of the last month, but for the last 20 years of it having to cope with lugging around an EXTRA 150 LBS it was not designed for! I owe this old bag of bones a huge (huge being the operative word, here!) debt<st1></st1>!!!

I am going to need to be sincerely repentant to expect that we can have a long, healthy relationship for many years to come!!! Maybe it's a little like dealing with a cheating spouse... (Stay with me here!) My body and I need each other, but we have a lot of bridges to mend! I have done an awful lot of thoughtless, hurtful things to my body over the last 5 decades, (and I'm not just talking about the 60's! LOL). I owe it an apology, a long term sincere apology, (like at LEAST 20years), worth! It isn't easy giving up instant gratification, and selfish indulgences, but I owe it to me! So I try everyday. In as many ways as I can think of, I try to be kind to my body. (But I am still, occasionally convinced that what it really needs is just a littlebit of something sweet!!!!) LOL<o></o>

This kind of mind set helps me go to the gym, when I would rather play on the computer, and take an extra 2 minutes to fix up some good food instead of grabbing the quick and easy snack. Sometimes I slack, but, it's like going some place with my husband when I would rather stay home, (or visa versa!) I usually try making the accommodation to show respect for our relationship. (For the record, it was just ananalogy...neither my husband, or I have ever cheated on each other!!!) But I have cheated my body out of a lot!

Can I hear an AMEN?!?! :omg:

Love,
