Do you believe?

Do you believe you can do whatever you intend?
Do you believe that everything you need to live a healthier life is at your fingertips, just waiting for you to tap into its unlimited resources?
Do you believe that you are more than capable?

Do you have enough?
Enough self-love to know when to say when, when to say no, when to say yes, when to say go?
Enough self-confidence to hold your head high?
Enough willingness to get back up for the 9th time when you've fallen down 8?

Do you know?
Do you know that you have it within you?
Do you know how to reach down for more?
Do you know when to make a turnaround if you find yourself veering off track?

Can you decide?
Can you decide that you're worth the small sacrifices?
Can you resolve not to listen to the people who stand in your way..... including yourself?
Can you commit to being all you can be?

Most of all, do you know how awesome you are?
Do you feel proud of all you've accomplished?
Are you ready to live the new you?
Do you believe?

All I could honestly think about was how to take those first steps to get through the first day and the first week. I had no idea how I was supposed to do 5 minutes a day of activity, when it took all I could do to put one foot in front of the other. But if nothing else, once I make up my mind to do something.......... Here it is, June 4, 2009. I am 228 pounds lighter and a quadrillion times better. I made it through that first day, that first week just fine. I did the 5 minutes -- okay, really 10 minutes, all huffing and puffing and barely able to walk out two blocks and back. Then 20, then 30, and joined the Y, and ..... got the dog and had to walk him. Then said, "I can do a 5K." And then watched my race time improve each time I tried. In losing 228 pounds, I have gained so much. I wasn't e...

Square One, All Over Again

Note: cross-posted from  Meanderings and Musings , cross-posting to Bad Catholic Anonymous   and  Birdcage Wisdom Take the high road or take the low No one but you and God will ever know And you play rough and win or lose Either way, you'll get the blues -- Lucinda Williams, "Ugly Truth" I found myself staring again at something I didn't want to see: ugly truth. The scale didn't lie, and neither did two-plus years worth of knowing I was eating to get away from what was eating me. But two anxiety attacks that awoke me in the middle of the night, scared to death of some physical ailment, the absolute fear not of dying but of leaving people behind and things unfinished -- and knowing I could damn well do something about it........ And facing my worst truth: I'm trying to fill a hole that can never be filled. I haven't written much in a while -- or spread it out over other outlets -- because I was compartmentalizing things. General stuff here, weig...
