Blogging seems like good confession for the soul. And once again I must confess, the past couple of years I've let myself go in more ways than one. I stopped putting me as a priority and I'm not sure why. I gained even more weight, which caused my diabetes to make me very tired. I had no energy and not much interest in anything but my family. I gave up all my volunteerism as well as my crafty side. I've done some scrapbooking but even that has been sporadic.
In another blog I talked about a good friend who dragged me somewhat kicking and moaning to LA Weight Loss and with the prayerful support of another "friend", I found motivation. I'm not quite to 20 pounds off yet, but I'm "inching" my way there. Well, while I didn't have any luck finding an appropriate outfit in Bangor for Angie's wedding, the bride-to-be and I went shopping last night - and not only did I find the suit I had envisioned, I also found a cool outfit for the rehearsal. AND, drum roll... multiple dress sizes have been lost. It felt so good, but what felt even better was the reaction I got from both my girls. Angie was even more excited and happy than I was and Shelley, despite the awful pain of a bruised cheek and sore mouth compliments of the dentist, she managed to express her sincere enthusiasm. They were both obviously proud of me and that's the best support for which anyone could ask!
As well, my girls got me a gift certificate for a massage of which I took advantage tonight and so I am feeling so smooth you could slide me through a knothole! The spa owner is a friend of mine and I haven't been there since 2002... yes, I have ignored me and when he looked in my file and read me back that year, it really hit home. My girls have come to my rescue again and proved to me that I'm worth it. If anyone out there is feeling like they have or are starting not to make themselves a priority... Think twice. And if that doesn't do it... talk to my girls...
