Good evening! Tuesday blog! Not enough room to write about this topic! So much about this and how important it is! Who knew? If we did try anything like weight loss and exercise, for me anyway, I did it for wrong reasons! Not health! One of my regrets! But, regret is part of my past! But really, seriously, if things had not been addressed in my life, I would not be able to take care of Denny the way I do! I have strength now! 234 lbs huffing and puffing up the stairway was not getting anything done! I did not know or think about proper self care, much less love! I am not pointing fingers at anyone! I know what losing 100lbs did for me, then therapy, recovery, choosing life changes and sticking with it! Exercise, walking! Bible, journaling and yes, blogging! I really do want people, women and men also to know and learn! We all need to take care of ourselves, to be here for our loved ones and the line of family that will follow! There is no guarantee that I will live longer, but I am not going to stop doing right for me! I do love me, because I am wonderfully made in Gods image! He created me! It is wrong and insulting to God to put yourself down! God does not make mistakes! You are here by His Grace! I love God so much, for loving me! Even when I was 17 years in the wilderness of my life! Two words, forgive me! Grace and Mercy covered me! I will take care of this vessel he has given me! My joy and happiness are mine everyday, because He says I am worth it! He will see Denny and I threw whatever comes! Take care of you, no one else is going to do it! Mine did not happen overnight, plus I had started a couple of positive behaviors before recovery! 21 days to form new habits! Weight loss surgery 2010, 100 lbs off, not without some struggles, journaling 2014, walking 2015, therapy and recovery from gambling addiction 2016, group therapy over 2 years, 3 1/2 years clean! I don’t always like the way I act or feel, but I know the tools to keep me on track! Look in the mirror, tell yourself good morning, today is going to be a great day! Just because you are wonderful and worth it! Men, this includes you! Your families need you and want you! Start right now! Have a good nights sleep! God bless!❤️🤗🤗❤️
