We are very close to mid-month January.
As you are moving through this month, do you have any new insights or discoveries?
For me, I am enjoying and yet being challenged by adjusting to no longer working full-time. This is a major change in activity and identity.
What about you?
New Insights/Discoveries
I just completed most of my last major work-related commitment (for free). I immediately felt a huge decrease in my stress AND a huge decrease in my Purpose/Contribution.
So, the stress led to snacking & angst AND to a really fine couple of products /pride. A feeling of expertise.
And hardly any bandwidth for art, or friends, or UAC or other online groups, or even cleaning the house.
So, I’m beginning to reframe & acknowledge how I Contribute & have Purpose now in almost full Retirement come early Feb.)
I contribute by showing one can be thin after a 50 years of obesity. And one can vastly improve medical labs & walk/hike every day - millions of miles. AND perhaps the biggest, I can show that maintenance is possible. Other people doing these things inspired me to try one last time.
I also contribute to my many artist friends - both locally & online - by my playful creativity. I embody a spirit of Joy when creating that inspires others.
I contribute to our spoiled, aged cat.
I contribute to my husbaywho was inspired to get to a normal BMI, losing 38lbs by the gradual habit changes approach I cremated for myself in 2016. His being so healthy brings me incredible joy.
I remain open to new ways I might contribute to others more, but not at the risk of returning to my earlier weight & lackluster exercise. I am excited to continue to create a life I love!

Thank you @ginadomaszewicz ❣️
And thank you @RangerRickL - I saved it

@ginadomaszewicz You can copy my picture. Just right click on it, copy picture, save it to your computer or phone, and use it as a profile pic. You already know this most likely, but thought I'd help in case you needed it.
It's hard to lose weight when you're really short, because your calories are already on the lower side with not much wiggle room to go lower.
Also, I like to write, too! Haven't done it in a long time though.3 -
@bellesouth18 That is cool you like to write too! How tall are you? I am 5'2 inches tall! I write the quote down, but thank you for offering to help me make it my profile picture!0

@ginadomaszewicz I shrunk an inch and now am 4'11"
but I refuse to say it out loud and still profess to be 5' tall.

I probably should have someone measure me! My kids say I shrunk too!1

@RangerRickL I wish! Then my weight would be just right!
Maybe you're secretly our height...
@ginadomaszewicz I get teased all the time by my family because of my height. They say that I look like I've shrunk more all the time.2 -
