Gaining and loosing...
So, ya, the weight is coming off-tippy and yay, but I'm finding that I'm loosing so much more:
-a closet full of goshawfullugly clothes -the need to sit down to gain the leverage needed to reach my shoestrings -gUilt and shame over hiding ongoing closet eating- apathy- lethargy- the need to sleep my life away- diabetics, high blood pressure, and aching knees and back- that Disabilitating ,Depressing, Feeling of Hoplessness and Dispair.
Get this- While I'm Loosing, I'm also GAINING-
--a joy for my life- health and strength, -Hope and Purpose- A Future- and , OH MYGOSh, I have a FACE!,,,,eyes and cheekbones and. A smile. !
What are your ain't while you are loosing while on this wonderful journey?
