Starting to feel the confidence of 'me' again! I no longer think of myself as a failure. As someone who had basically given up - destined to be fat - unable to control myself, my eating habits, my emotions, my worries...certainly couldn't control the events of life, so death and loss, and illness - it was all tooo much.
But somewhere in these last few months since being in Boot Camp, and being in a state of greater awareness to the things in me that needed my attention...I am starting to like myself again. Starting to enjoy the gym. Finding activity in my life to be fun. Actually thinking about hiking or skiing and having a smile on my face!
Soooo much time wasted on not doing the things I have always loved. What an unexpected gift - this new found freedom to be me - I'm liking it! Go me!!! What a world of difference doing whatever it takes...makes.
Love.

Super Paula! Just make sure you don't dwell on the past and 'time wasted'. It is gone and that is that. Actually one way I look at it (after I'm finished with the pain of loss or whatever) is that I basically had to go through those experiences (good and not so good) in order to be where I am now. AND I actually like (for the most part) where I am now. I am still a work in progress and I am progressing. Have a good weekend ;-)

This journey is showing me that I can do things I never thought possible. And it is teaching me that I can, and do, have control over what I eat and who I am, both physically and mentally. It is the most freeing feeling I have ever experienced!! Have a great weekend!!!
