I borrowed this from a WW Blog that I follow online....it is so inspirational to me...I love it!!! This WILL be me one day.
You are an incredible person that deserves your love and attention.You give so graciously to others that sometimes you forget to give to yourself. Well, no more. I am here to tell you that your are worthy of the very love, compassion, forgiveness and tolerance you show others.
You are a complex person who sees things in so many ways, someone who constantly analyzes and looks for a better way. You are hardest on yourself and in the past you would place tremendous expectations on yourself. You held yourself to a higher standard than you did everyone else and when those standards went unfulfilled you would not forgive yourself.
That part of your life did not work for you. In fact, it caused you to spiral downward at an ever increasing speed.
You are a different person now, you are a person who is in control. A person who loves herself enough to make the best choices you can and forgive poor judgement and moments of weakness.
I am here to offer you proof (because I know you oh so well).
The picture is one of the many reminders that yes, you have come far and you really were in desperate need of taking control of your life.
Another snapshot of your success, you no longer avoid mirrors or pictures being taken.
You no longer sit in the Dr office afraid of the "you need to lose weight" speech.
Your lab reports and physical body no longer add risk factors for a slew of medical conditions.
You are comfortable and confident in the clothes you wear and your appearance.
You smile more.
You no longer have a double chin.
Your wedding band fits.
You have zero back fat.
You can walk several flights of stairs without resting at the top.
You do not ache with the start of each new seasonal chore--like raking leaves or garden resets.
Your hair and nails are way healthier.
Your meals are anything but boring or mundane. You don't need to fry things just so they have some taste.
Your muffin top is nearly gone.
You can tie your own shoes without the bow being off to the side.
You are not too embarrassed to run outside.
These and so much more.
My dear Charlene--you are worth it--don't forget that!
I Love All of You!
Forever true,
Charlene
