Thank you all for the comments and encouragement on my journal yesterday. In respect of that I will confess (or brag) that I decided to pull the trigger and ordered some art supplies.
I've never been artistic so it's exciting. I've been creative in business, redesigned processes, reinvented teams and brought life back into dark and dreary projects. I'm a recovering from a life of being a workaholic always driving toward a specific goal. This random approach with no deadline is soothing. My paintings may suck completely but then I'll just always claim 'they aren't done yet.'
As for eating I'm pleasantly surprised my intuition to eat more, not less, has proven correct.
The other night I stated 'my goal is to not gain weight' and truly meant it. I feel every day is now maintenance but do not feel like 'woe is me, I'll have to be hungry the rest of my life to maintain what I have achieved' or any of that sad self talk. I really am accepting myself unconditionally and enjoying being whatever weight I am today.
Thank you for stopping by and reading. Wishing you all a wonderful day and weekend.
Bella

Angel, you continue to amaze & inspire me! You are so right about how the most important thing is to love ourselves & the weight and the rest will take care of itself -- a lesson I have to continue to remind myself! Wishing you a great weekend too! xoxoxo

Acceptance is amazing... the journey just continues once we reach that stage, right?

I love painting...it's been about a year, but I love turning some music on and totally loosing myself in the work. I think I'll have to get back into it.

*she's never been artistic* That is so much fresh robust bull product! Anyone can read your journal for a week and see that you ARE artistic, you've just not explored that part of yourself yet! Who cares if the paintings wouldn't get displayed in MOMA? Art is ALWAYS subjective, art is always about how one interprets it, how it makes one feel, how one expresses ones life. It is a process of taking parts of your thoughts and translating them into pictures. Enjoy the process!

I hear so much creativity in your writing so I can only imagine how much of it will come out on canvas with your brain controlling the brush!

Ahh.. the pressure!!! Just kidding. I couldn't help reflect how insane this painting this is going to be esp in view of the really sad looking job I did on the arms of my patio lounge chair ~ and I'm even thinking of getting some outdoor paints and putting color on the chisel details of the plain old birdbath. For now though I'll just do the damage on canvas; easier to discard, LOL.
