The holidays did what they usually do, brought on a feeling of eating unhealthy is the way to go! Knowing that this is wrong and making the different choice is not always easy though. January 13th rolled around and at the request of my husband we are off to healthy land again. Now he didn't look at me and say I should go on a diet, he's not that stupid, he wants to be healthier and it helps me stay on track. I am also in a way better mood when I am eating healthy so it's probably better for his overall way of life. I also tend to be more... active.. so he likes that too.
Other than getting back on the healthy train, something in my personal life has made me really think about the fact that I have a wonderful life. I have great friendships, a beautiful marriage and an amazing family. I have gone through a personal transformation that has lead me to be able to live a happier life. I am no longer a door mat, I can now stand up for myself, I know my value, I know my friends and am secure in our relationships, I can tell my friends that I'm not interested in hanging out today and they understand! I am incredibly lucky, but not only am I lucky but I have worked my butt off for this life. I work on myself everyday, I work on my interactions, my self worth, my opinion of myself. I work towards what will be good for me, which consequentially leads to being better for the people in my life.
This step towards living a healthier life is just another way that I'm going to improve, it truly makes me feel better, sleep better, be better. To finally treat my body as a vessel of life and not just a trash can, it boggles my mind that it took me so long to figure it out.
