First of all, What is it? I thought for years it was weightloss or a certain size…. It was not!
However, I had to lose -130 pounds and find you all and myself to realize … it was the obsession with food 🥘 I wanted to end!!!
The weight really was a sign that my life was wayyyyyy out of balance! I made reckless decisions about food, family, career, money and I could name many more atrocities because I was unhealthy in many ways 😔
I was miserable 😩 inside and out. I didn’t always honor my word or commitments. I was so into myself that I didn’t always treat others right!!! My family suffered because of my utter selfishness.
Im not sure 🤔 if any of you can relate, but deep in my heart, I believe we are all alike. I hope I’m wrong about this one ☝️ 🙏🏻 because I’ve realized the hurt 😞 I caused others because I was miserable 😩
Im better now!!!!! Mentally, physically, emotionally 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Isnt is ironic that when we respect ✊ what we put in our bodies, we respect ourselves more? When we do right for ourselves, we can do right by others!🙌❤️
Gosh - I hope this speaks to you today!!!!
I was like Marie for many years I was a people pleaser/peace maker as well. A lot of my eating I realized was from frustration and mindless eating. I am now learning how to put much more effort into my body and health. I am a high energy person (but working on the exercise part don't have that 100 percent down yet ) but I will get there. I must say the BEST part of eating healthy whole food is my digestive system is much better...I too am trying my hardest to get over obsessively thinking of food all the time!!!
I want to end the disconnection and numbing facilitated by my obsession with food. I'm writing and telling a new story every day. I love the idea of committing to being intentional in this very moment, just for today, and not worrying or obsessing over perfection for tomorrow, next week, next year. And giving myself the time and space to change. ❤️
I am a little different in the way that I was a people pleaser to the other extreme making everyone happy but myself and eating with no care in the world. I was always confident in myself maybe that was my problem. As i started to care for myself was when other people did not like it and where many are no longer around which is ok too 😀. The true family and Friends are liking the new me. And so do I. Thank you to this wonderful community and Well!
They will forgive you and me and all the others that may have behaved poorly because of self hate. Now we need to forgive ourselves and live each day as the best version of ourselves.
