Today I want to fall in love with myself all over again. I want to examine my life and where my choices have taken me. I want to sit back.. breathe and smile. This is a good life.
I have gone weeks (feels like years) without weighing myself. I have no idea where I am at.. but what I can say is that I am on week 7 of 6 day a week workouts. I have not given up. I continue to go for it every day.. even if my pants are still feeling a tad too tight. This is something I need to own.
A good friend said these words " You are worth loving".. it got me thinking. I am WORTH it.. I am going to love myself... maybe not right away but I am going to take myself on dates, talk about my strengths, dream about my future and fall in love all over again.
I am SO proud of you, not only for being brave enough to put yourself out there like this, but for being brave enough to conquer this very overwhelming challenge! I think I speak for all women when I say, we hear you!!!!! Thank you for doing this! I'd love to add that my personal weight and food issues changed DRAMATICALLY when I began doing affirmations. I had no idea how many times a day I looked in the mirror and thought negative thoughts, until I began to try to catch myself. I was constantly saying things like "I'm not there yet" or "I hate this side fat" or "I'm so fat" or "losing weight is so hard". Even saying "losing weight" to your subconscious self is a negative goal! I have begun a new mantra, "my body is healthy and strong" and it is changing me from the outside in :) Now that I am telling my body at a cellular level I love it, and am proud of it, it is starting to believe it too, and the cravings lessen and my workouts get easier and my motivation is through the roof! Rock on Janelle! Hope this helps you and all your fans, which I know you will have many of! I adore you!
