I was filling a photo album with pics from last summer and I came across a bunch of pictures of a woman that I Did Not Like!! She was lazy, overweight and unhappy. She had no self confidence and was grouchy all the time. This woman would have rather sat on the couch watching her kids play than get on the floor and play with them. She dressed in black all the time and would not wear shorts, even when it was really hot out. She dreaded summer and loved winter, so she could be covered up!The woman saw going to the park to play a pain in the butt instead of a fun thing to do. She had chest pain at times, heartburn all the time, was tired everyday, and got winded going for a short walk.
Man, I really didn't like her and I am glad that she is gone!!!
When I began to put pics from this summer I saw a different woman, and I think that I really like her! This new woman is happy, healthy and energetic. She is beginning to love herself and accept compliments from others. She loves to run and play with her kids, she looks forward to going to the park and likes to walk everywhere for hours! This woman is wearing shorts, color and is enjoying summer for the first time in years. This woman loves going to the gym, is jogging and lifting weights. This woman is someone that her daughters can look up to!!!

    That's beautiful Hon! I know that woman, I've learned to embrace her and love her, she was so very sad and depressed for more reasons than I probably yet truly understand. So now intead of hating her and wishing her away I've invited her to join me in my play and healthy food choices. She's far more sweet, has a good outlook on life and is someone that is now my Best Friend. She's come along ways, just like you have!:flowerforyou:
