Things I will be able to do when I’m healthier:
-tie my shoes without turning red in the face
-wrap a regular-sized towel around myself
-put my tray down on an airplane without it touching my tummy
-make the bunk beds
-play soccer
-dance
-ski
-run
-cross my legs
-cross my arms
-touch my toes
-sit on the floor and be comfortable
-shop for clothes in Misses sizes
-go to the pool without feeling self-conscious
-carry the laundry upstairs without feeling like I need to rest afterwards
-play, I mean really play, with my kids
-hug my little ones and have their arms go all the way around me
Although self improvement is always good, there are things in my life that are true today and will never change. For the most part, these are true for everyone.
-I love my family, and my family loves me
-God loves me
-I am beautiful
-I love my friends, and they love me
-I have an amazing support system
-I am of infinite worth
-I have many good qualities
-I am worthy of love and capable of love
The outpouring of love and support I have felt in the past five days has been amazing! I hope this is a lesson for all of us that we should not be afraid to be honest with ourselves and with others. If you are struggling with something, there are people all around you who love you and are ready to help you along your path to where you want to be. Don't be ashamed of not being perfect. No one is. NO ONE IS PERFECT! We shouldn't expect it of ourselves or of anyone else. We all have issues, struggles, problems, and we can help and strengthen each other if we are willing to open up and reach out. Have a great day!
