Ideally Speaking............................
May 28, 2009
Hey OH Fam,
Just wanted to do a quick update.............I still feel wonderful except for a bad haircut, but GOD is still good to me! I have 17lbs to go to reach my goal but I think I have plateaued and I am okay with that. I've realized through this journey that what the world says is 'IDEAL' is not necessarily 'IDEAL' for me. My Ideal weight for my height , according to the American Medical Society, is 132lbs. I weigh 152lbs at 5'4" and that's okay with me. If I don't lose another pound I'm still healthy, radiant, full of life and living it to the fullest as much as possible. To me that's 'IDEAL'.
My BMI is within normal range, my nutrient levels are all good, my Cholesterol, my thyroid, my glucose, etc. are all 'IDEAL', so why isn't my weight? I'm not going to worry myself with these last few pounds because the AMA says that I should. If they fall off they fall off. I know that I am not exercising like I should so maybe that will be the nodge that I need to reach my personal goal. But that won't be why I'm doing it. I know that to maintain my weight and to have a healthy lifestyle I need to eat right and regularly exercise and I am still working on that because I am a procrastanator. However, I'm doing it because I want to be around for a long time, not because that's the ideal thing to do.
I don't know where this came from this morning but I needed to get this out. Maybe it will help someone who is struggling with 'IDEOLOGY'....................did I just make up a new word? LOL!!!!!!!!!! Peace and much continued success to you all!
