Wii.. is that really Mii?
May 24, 2010
My husband brought me a Wii for my birthday. He enjoys video games and thought it would be the type of game system I would be interested in. He was right.Last night I decided to set up my avatar Mii. I chose her name, size, features; I was satisfied. I thought she looked just like me. I proceeded to go through the process of setting up my profile. Next was the balance test, then the weight test.
Next thing I saw gave me a dose of reality. My Mii avatar grew before my eyes. I watched as her weight went from normal to obese. Not just obese, but the top of the Wii obese spectrum. The last straw was the Wii age. It said I was 58. I feel it too, so shamed. I wonder why I let it go so far.
I all of a sudden felt what it it may feel like to be anorexic or at least have body dis-morphia. When I see myself, I see thin. I don't see my xtra large frame in size large clothes. I usually think my clothes shrink, never considered I grew.
This was a wake up call. I need to start now making better decisions. I am glad that I am close to surgery and an important decision to change has been made. Now I need to get the rest of my mind together and realize that it is just a tool. I need to load my belt with other tools; diet, exercise, and the right mindset.
As I am writing this the song "The Breaking of Day" by Maurette Brown Clark came on the radio-
I can feel the breaking of day, I won't look back, I'll just keep pressing my way. My blessing got to be on it's way. Jesus knows my struggles and my healing is on the way!!!
I accept that as a confirmation. I see myself in the future and I look and feel better.
