Happy Tuesday! I'm just starting my day so I am a little groggy - not quite finished my cup of coffee yet so I am definitely not up to speed!
Reviewed my year again (journal Jan 20) and found my word of the year - CLARITY. So, here is what I am clear about today:
1 - The exchange on fatsecret is great for me - I share here what I don't share anywhere else, and I get so much back in return.
2 - Love is important and comes in many forms. Some of it is conditional, but when the condition is "you be who you are and I will be who I am and both of those ways will be wonderful" then you have another great thing. I have that from my family, my friends, my buddies, my Woody!
3 - Habits are hard to break. Making a new habit or setting a new practice is really, really difficult. Food is everywhere, and for food to mean something different than it does, I think I have to really focus on it and change my attitude towards it. Not sure how I'll do that but I think more than planning menus or shopping "just right" I have to figure out that every meal needs to start with a review of just what I am doing!
I saw a scene from a reality show over the weekend that is really sticking in my mind. A personal trainer was saying to her client: If you are cheating on your diet and exercise, you are cheating yourself out of the best that you can be. If you feel like you are depriving yourself, realize that you ARE depriving yourself of your most positive future by giving in.
I have heard these same sentiments before, but not so succinctly. A little more clarity.
So, being kind to myself is hard but necessary - thank you for all your help, buddies! Hope you have a good Tuesday!
