maxie4's Journal, 18 March 2018

Solemn Sunday
Good morning all...something I find is very solemn in the wee hours of the morning...off today but I still awoke around 330...not sure why but I find peace and clarity in the early hours of the day..
I just love to be up when the day begins to break...cant wait until its warm enough to grab my coffee and sit on deck to hear the day begin..
Journaling not only my goals here but just who I am...what I feel and what I enjoy will teach me it is a balance...I'm searching for a balance... inspiration to take positive steps towards this journey of living life to the fullest in the correct way.
I had been moved by a member yesterday who is going through treatment and was so positive in her words...she stated "I miss my hair"....
then in another moment... a member was upset because the scale had stated an increase....
To be able to be successful towards our goals we need to take time to appreciate our moments of this life that we are blessed with...
this isn't a lecture...I'm in dire need to stop and not just focus on my goals of weight loss too but be aware others are going through real life issues.
I must realize that in an instant my difficulties of weight loss could be pulled from me and I could have to face a real life challenge...something where weight loss was nothing as a challenge....where I could be going through treatment and miss my hair...
This was an awaking call for me..
it put me into a reality check...this is not just about weight loss...pulling off another lb.... this is about learning and loving my life moments...loving my blessings that I have in these moments and learn not to always take so much for granted...and I do.
Take time today and realize just how blessed you are...enjoy every moment and know that if weight loss is your main focus that this is minor to others who may have real life challenges..
Have a peaceful Sunday.. be inspired by others... be inspiring towards others.... I'm thankful for my blessed moments... I'm thankful that today that weight loss is just a minor issue ...tomorrow I could be handed a real life challenge ..stay positive...focus and be thankful...truly thankful if your just blessed with just the challenge of losing weight.
Sending my love and hugs to you all... I'm thankful for all of you here and that I'm learning each day what this is really about...

Sweetheart you're so right. My problems are minor compared to some. That's how I deal with a lot of it. My Mom has always told me to be positive because some people have it worse. Thank you!

Proudmomma412..yeah sweetie you are a very positive person and it shows and your so right but that just hit home as I focus on things of less importance...guilty as charged...what I like about me...it takes not long for my eyes to be open...and then we are stuck with a eye opening experience type journal then from me lol

I’ve always thought if I have time/energy to worry about my weight then the other areas of my life must be pretty good. I’ve noticed this time around that focusing on what I eat, how much I’m losing, exercise etc. is an escape from some of the other stresses in life I can’t so easily control. I can control this and even though it’s hard at times and I don’t like it, I like being in control of something. My heart aches for people with serious health concerns or other trials that are uncontrollable. Worrying about people (even those here that I don’t really know) can keep me up at night. I’m a huge worrier! This “diet” gives me something controllable and the friends I’ve met here make me smile. I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful I can worry about my scale number right now—I know that won’t always be possible and isn’t for others at times. I’m rambling. I love you maxie!
