Once upon a time I started a Blog.............
Last week was good in that I had some time reflect ,it got me thinking about my life ,it felt like I was recalling a story I was once told.The fact is everyone has a story , some good ,some bad but all real ,valuable and touching.Our stories are important, they make us who we are and God uses the bad as well as the good to somehow connect us to one another.As this story unfolds it has taken me to some surprising places that, to be honest with you ,I wasn't really expecting.I was planning on focusing on weight lose but realized the weight is just a physical manifestation of unresolved issues.That's a hard reality to face as I 'd like to think I had it all together like I tried to make you all believe I did.So here we are in the chapter of Angie's Story called " She gets real". It's the chapter where I am not DOING alot so no one sees me out there getting involved being super busy hoping that someone notices what a super gal I am.No, it's more of a "be still and know" time.I'm excited about this time because I can already feel changes in myself and I'm pretty sure I've only skimmed the surface .I am truly seeking the real me ,I want to be everything God intended me to be and so I'm willing to go through this "still" time to get there.
I'm also changing the way I look at the "AFTER 7 THING" My friend suggested that instead of saying I CAN"T eat after 7 . say I CAN eat up until 7 and then I'm giving my body a break until breakfast .Basically being more positive in the way I'm viewing my healthy changes.

Way to be positive! And it's true, our bodies (and minds) need breaks from things (even good things) to get a healthier perspective and dependednce on them.
ReplyDeleteAnd about your unresolved issues - do you know what they are? Not that I'm asking you to share - but if the weight is a side effect that is concerning you, I hope for you all kinds of success with identifying and working out those deeper pains. It's a process.
See you at WOW and around.
