Like many people in the world I have a few extra pounds that I need to shed. Over the last few years I gained 30 pounds and want them gone. When Dr.s say the affects stress has on the body, boy they aren't kidding. Over the past 10 years I've had a lot of different types of stress and it took it's toll on my body. 7 yrs ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I have learned a whole lot about it. 2 years ago I also went through adrenal fatigue, when researching it I found it takes about 3 yrs to recover. I can sure testify to that.
Our reaction to situations in our lives really make a huge difference. Our body tries to tell us slow down, calm down, I need attention, etc. when we don't listen everything about us suffers. God has given us many wonderful tools to help us deal with stressful times in our life. In my quest to better health I have been blessed with finding wonderful Dr.s, articles, magazines, tv shows. When Oprah, Dr. Phil, VH1 and others had shows on successful weight loss it really helped to motivate me and teach me. I have been getting accupuncture and LOVE it, I had a deep massage a few days ago...ouch but I needed to get the knots in my back worked out. I really believe all this should be covered by our insurance company instead of just covering perscriptions. Our body knows how to heal, we just have to listen and do the things it needs to get us back to that point.
Learning to let go of alot of needless worry is a big step. I recently had someone break my heart and it was my oldest daughter. I think what she is doing is a big mistake, the bad thing is she didn't even talk to me about what she was thinking about doing, when she finally told me what she was wanting to do it was on the phone and her attitude was rude, I told her I didn't agree, but this wasn't an arguement, we would discuss it when she got home. She was supposed to come home to get some things and take care of other things but she backed out. She text me that she wasn't coming home and would talk to me later.......days later she wants me to clean up her mess for her and I was mad. I asked God to please give me wisdom and peace in this situation. As usual God is very faithful to help me. I called my daughter and told her I would do this thing she asked but it was only because it pertained to her education. I told her I was mad and hurt that she has shut me out of her life for 2 weeks and then when she makes such a big decision she treated me totally wrong. I told her I am an awesome mom, I don't care what anyone says, I'm a good person. Yes I have my fault like everyone else but I try my best to be fair, patient, loving and to be the best person I can. I didn't deserve the treatment from her.
She agreed. Did it hurt yes!!! I did alot of deep breathing that my Dr. and friend Jim taught me. I didn't eat much but I made sure I took my vitamins, drank lots of water. I remembered the many scriptures I've read in the bible. One morning I woke up and the first thought was peace be still. Ok I get it! I went to the farm and cried my eyes out while petting one of the horses, who stood there and kept nugging me.
In talking to a friend who also had been talking to my mom, she wondered how I'm not freaking out. I asked her what good is it going to do for me to freak out? What is it going to do for my body? Nothing.....I am a mother, I love my daughter no matter what and she will someday realize what she's done.
So in my quest for the best health and trying to get over my heart ache I've been walking more. I also have a small indoor trampoline I bounce on. here's a tip for any parent........they are great to get energy out of children too !!!! I told my husband I want to lose this weight so I can be hot for him. Then I thought why should I wait? I mean I'm hot now, even with this added cushin. how many of us think we have to wait till we are thinner to begin to live the way we want? I can still wear cute/sexy clothing, It's all in how I feel about myself right? So why wait? I'm not going to, as I'm on my weightloss journey I'm going to continue to do things to make me happy and feel good about myself!!!
Life is good, I'm going to live it to the fullest :):):)
Be blessed everyone
