We can’t really earn our way through life (or into heaven, if you want to take it there). No matter what, we will never measure up and will always fall short. And that is absolutely OK. Once you open your heart to accepting this, it is actually quite beautiful and freeing.

All we have to do is relax into every moment that’s been given to us. Wake up with a purpose. And if you don’t know yet what that purpose is or are constantly unsure, in the words of Stevie Wonder, “when you feel your life’s too hard… just go have a talk with God.”

Weightless is about fostering a fulfilling body image and life, at any shape + size. It’s about well-being, not weight.

Weightless is about building a healthy relationship with food and yourself. It’s about transforming your self-care, and finding self-acceptance and self-love.

Weightless is about becoming a clever consumer and recognizing when women’s magazines and other mediums tout unrealistic and damaging tips and standards.

from yesterday....

I did not even mange to have a day one afterall.
I can't believe that I just finished 165 days AF less than two weeks ago and here I am back where I started even worst.
I did not see the benefits of not drinking...I really did not.
The temptation to start again was too great.
and now the guilt of feeling like a failure.
Hell I stopped by a bar on the way home and got 2 bloody mary's and she made them strong and I drank them down fast and drove home. I was trashed.
I need to drink a ton of water before bed.
sigh
I see my therapist tomorrow.
bizi thank you for your support.

Well I had a heart to heart with my therapist tonight.
The truth of the matter is that I drank so much last night that I blacked out and don't remember half of the evening with jeff....She was so kind. I know that I need to get back to an alcohol free life style.I start tonight by going to the gym and taking a well needed shower.
I hope to go to the gym twice a week.
I cooked a new recipe for dinner tonight hubby loved it! not heart healthy but really good.
Chicken with onions and mushrooms and dijon mustard and half and half and butter.
yummy off I go to the gym.

edited to add that I made it to the gym and showered 2 feats! 45 minutes on the tred mill.

Good job at the gym!

Bizi,

Do you think the that some people deserved to be punished?
Or do you recognize that all of us are deserving of great love?

I am asking this because I believe that you are being too hard on yourself.

I feel rested starting day 2 af. enjoying a cup of coffee and ready to start my day, need to make phone calls to set up appointments. it is chilly here this am, 30's, supposed to rain today cloudy, and winds of 20 mph. Have my long underwear on, my heater in my car is not working right.
WE decided to trade in my vehicle for a new honda coupe red it is gorgeous!
Waiting to hear from honda to see if we get some money back., to use as a down payment and the insight for trade in hope to get $3000.

Yes I believe that we all deserve love in our lives.

Bizi

Bizi,

A new car is so much fun. It offers hope for possibilities. :) :) :)

Mari

we did not get as much as we had hoped may have to wait a while longer, check won't come in for 4-6 weeks and has to be used at a honda dealership. They paid half of what we paid to replace the battery pack= $1300.
We paid $2600.

Thankful for hubby who wrote the letter and initiated the dispute.
