Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life. ~Phillip C. McGraw
I found this quote on myfitnesspal.com and I think it is a true statement. I thought the same when I left IC Group that it would solve all of my work related problems but the reality was I brought me and all my issues with me. I need to find happiness in my life whether I am tall, short, skinny, fat, gray or red haired because I will still be there.
Today I found joy in the pool. I enjoyed the water aerobics and learning new things from my friend Laurie. I loved that I can jump, run, float and stretch in the pool. I did a move today where I streched my legs. I told Laurie "I feel like a ballerina". It felt good to be there. I am getting more and more confident each time I go.
I am grateful to be alive and for my many blessings. I am grateful to love and be loved. I am grateful for friends, family and Brett.
Love, Karalee
