Day 302 of 365

I heard a great tidbit tonight and it really struck a chord with me and now as I sit here and meditate on it, it brings even more into what the preacher meant that said it. I don't have the exact quote but what he was talking about was that we need to quit using the negative "I am's" in our lives and start using the positive. The negatives like: I am stupid, I am never going to meet anyone, I am never going to amount to anything, I am Fat, I am ugly, I am never going to be out of debt...

We need to start being more positive with our self speak... I am making great changes in my life, I am doing great things with my life, I am getting healthy, I am making good choices, I am smart and probably the biggest one I AM BEAUTIFUL...

When we speak the negatives we allow the hurt, the loneliness and the sadness into our lives...

If we are always telling ourselves that I am a failure, i won't amount to anything, do you believe you will try harder to over come that? Not likely... We need to look for the bright sad in all we do. Even when we have a bad day, it may have only been one moment that was truly bad, so lets focus on all of the other reasons that made it good.

When we start telling ourselves we are ugly or stupid, we are being contrary to God's art work that is us... We need to be telling ourselves on a daily basis, that "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" and that I am beautiful and God has big plans for my life...

Love, peace and I am Beautiful...

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
